Notice that this regards DHCP servers and not relays.

These are some notes for showing the DHCP leases issued out by a FortiGate firewall.

One thing to consider is multiple pools can be configured for multiple networks at a time. So, don’t be destroying the addresses on all of the networks with what’s learned here.

Listing Leases

The command below will list all leases handed out by the DHCP server on the FortiGate.

execute dhcp lease-list all

Below is the output of the command. This will show the following data related to the DHCP pool hosted by the FortiGate firewall. This will show the following information.

  • Interface/Pool Name
  • Lease IP
  • Leased MAC Address
