Will User Device Tracker allow me to see which switch ports are connected to devices which have Statically defined IP addresses or DHCP assigned?

I need to find out which of my devices are assigned DHCP IP addresses and which have statically configured IP addresses.  Can User Device Tracker assist with this task?

  • No.

    it only looks at the MAC bridge tables and the ARP tables to find the information, neither of which (directly) tells you if it has been assigned using DHCP.

    the IPAM product might help with telling you if an ip address is DHCP or Static, but that doesn't really help you tell if the client actually used DHCP to obtain an ip address, or if someone staticlally configured one out of your DHCP address pool.
