This will show "Enabled" or "Disabled", depending on whether or

not this device is functioning as a DHCP client.

If "Enabled" the "Remaining lease time" field indicates when the IP

Address allocated by the DHCP Server will expire. The lease is

automatically renewed on expiry; use the "Renew" button if you wish

to manually renew the lease immediately.
