Commands
The following commands are used by network administrators to control lease time.
To set the lease time explicitly for the client lease, use:
-> dhcp set lease <ipaddr> <hours>
To set the lease time explicitly for the subnetwork lease, use:
-> dhcp set lease <net> <hours>
To set the lease time explicitly for the global lease, use:
-> dhcp list lease <hours>
Example 1:
To set the lease time to “default” for the client 192.168.254.17, enter:
-> dhcp set lease 192.168.254.17 default
Example 2:
To set the subnetwork lease time to infinite for the subnet 192.168.254.0, enter:
-> dhcp set lease 192.168.254.0 infinite
Example 3:
To set the global lease time to 2 hours, enter:
-> dhcp set lease 2
Manually Changing Client Leases
In general, administrators do not need to change client leases manually. However, if
the need arises to do so, the following two commands are used.
The client will not be aware that the administrator has changed or released a client
lease!
To change the client lease expiration time to a given value, use the following
command:
-> dhcp set expire <ipaddr> <hours>
Setting the expiration time to “default” will cause the server to compute the lease time
using the algorithm as described in “Setting the Lease Time” on page 4-6.
