hogwild [Device List]-Changed SL to DR and corresponding description to DHCP Reservation
Line 33: Line 33:
   * Clicking on the MAC address opens a web search to try to identify the hardware vendor based on the device's OUI ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizationally_unique_identifier|Organizationally Unique Identifier]]). The OUI is derived from the first 6 digits of its MAC address. This function is useful only for hardware default (factory-programmed) MAC addresses and will not work as expected with manually-configured MAC addresses as they can be arbitrarily assigned.   * Clicking on the MAC address opens a web search to try to identify the hardware vendor based on the device's OUI ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizationally_unique_identifier|Organizationally Unique Identifier]]).

-  * [SL] stands for //Static Lease// and is a shortcut to the [[:dhcp_reservation|DHCP Reservation]] page, where you can assign a static IP reservation to the MAC address. From there, you can also enable static ARP mapping to the MAC address if desired to protect against [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARP_spoofing|ARP spoofing]] by ticking the **Bound to** checkbox.+  * [DR] is for //DHCP Reservation// and is a shortcut to the [[:dhcp_reservation|DHCP Reservation]] page, where you can assign a DHCP Reservation to the MAC address.

   * [BWL] is a shortcut to the [[:bandwidth_limiter|Bandwidth Limiter]] menu for the specified device, where you can limit the bandwidth of the device associated with this MAC address.   * [BWL] is a shortcut to the [[:bandwidth_limiter|Bandwidth Limiter]] menu for the specified device, where you can limit the bandwidth of the device associated with this MAC address.

 **Measure**: On certain (mainly MIPS-based) devices, there is an extra button to trigger the measurement of Noise Floor (interference). For more information on the noise floor, see the [[:wireless_survey|Wireless Survey]] page. **Measure**: On certain (mainly MIPS-based) devices, there is an extra button to trigger the measurement of Noise Floor (interference).

-**Network Discovery**: Starting with release 2021.4, a network discovery function was introduced. It is disabled by default. If enabled, it will remain set for the length of the web interface session, although actual scanning/discovery will stop as soon as you leave the Device List page. Network Discovery can be set to use the Linux **arping** command or the **traceroute** command. Essentially, the function scans all the IP addresses in range to try to better populate the Device List table. Arping is the preferred setting, as it's faster and lighter on resources. However, sometimes, such as with Apple devices, traceroute appears to perform network discovery more precisely. +**Network Discovery**: Starting with release 2021.4, a network discovery function was introduced.

 To the right of the Network Discovery mode is a non-configurable countdown timer which represents how often the script is run. The countdown is essentially the ARP cache aging time. Remember that modern WiFi devices might stay connected to the router while in deep sleep mode. Network Discovery will likely detect those devices, but the Hostname information may not appear until they are awakened. To the right of the Network Discovery mode is a non-configurable countdown timer which represents how often the script is run.
