In DHCP server when i check for IP leases i see a list of IP that are assigned. most of them has a small pen in the icon what does the icon indicate?

also some ips are marked as bad address what does this mean ? i also see few telephone icons on the leased IP address something related to RAS.

could u explain what these icons indicates ? Thanks in advance

One cause of a bad address is that a dhcp server is trying to allocate an IP address that is already in use elsewhere in the network. An example is when 2 dhcp servers have scopes configured with overlapping IP addresses.
