      Hello all,

      We have several VLAN's on our server and I was wondering if there was a way to show at what % any given pool is being utilized at?  Is there a command for this or a way to show this via the GUI?

      Thanks in advance,

        Status > DHCP Leases will show the active leases, but it doesn't show pool utilization numbers or percentages. It might be feasible to add in 2.0, though.

              how often do these requests get answered?  I notice it's #709.  Just wondering the probability of this getting implemented?

                It's hard to say. It depends on when someone has time to do it, and how much work is involved. Since it is a feature, and 2.0 is fairly feature-frozen, it may not make 2.0, but if it turns out to be fairly simple, who knows.

                It won't show up in 1.2.x since there will not be any more updates to that branch.

                  I know this is an old thread but here is a rudimentary way to see the number of active leases.

                  grep -c "binding state active" /var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd.leases

                  That should output the number of leases at active status.
