It would be great to have a visualisation how many leases of a created DHCP pool are left.
This should be available over SNMP and web Gui

Would be useful indeed - and also in IC2 under each VLAN.

Just had an issue yesterday with DHCP exhaustion, took too long for my tech to track it down. This would have made it a breeze.
@PeplinkStaff:
Is there any news about that Feature Request? DHCP Visualisation over Gui, SNMP or/and SSH?

Core features that I see missing and would be helpful
- number of assigned DHCP from total number available (leased/available)
- ability to release a DHCP lease thus forcing a new address when the device requests.
- allow the filter of see DHCP / see online be a and/or, not just an or
- being able to filter on vlans/sub-networks
- Download current client list
- upload pre-defined lease list

Here’s how Meraki does it, pretty simple and effective (covers most things that @tgorter has requested)

Also ability to reset the pool and release all leases. In some cases, in environments with lots of ‘visitor’ devices, the DHCP server fails to assign new addresses when all the leases have been issued (even though most devices will never be seen again and the leases are expired). Today the only way to deal with this is to turn DHCP on and off or to call support.
FWIW, you should be keeping really short lease times on event/visitor VLANs, maximum 1hr in my experience. Normally we do 10 minute leases and even shorter in some environments.
