ifconfig is probably what you're looking for.

Thanks for the reply... reed
Ya your are right.. it is the command to know the address at the client side.. but Im looking for a command from Server side.. that is.. I want to know the list of IP address that a Server has assigned to the clients that are connected to it..


Thanks in advance

Hmm, that I'm not sure. Never ran a dhcp server.

Looks like addresses should be written to /var/db/dhcpd_leases.

I don't know of a specific command, but you can look at dhcpd.conf (assuming you are using dhcpd). The ip address the server can give out are listed in the "range" entry e.g. on my local lan

range 192.168.1.150 192.168.1.200;
