Usage guidelines

A DHCP client unicasts a DHCP-RELEASE message to the DHCP server to release its IP address. The DHCP relay agent conveys the message to the DHCP server and does not remove the IP-to-MAC entry of the client.

With this feature, the DHCP relay agent uses the IP address of a client and the MAC address of the DHCP relay interface to periodically send a DHCP-REQUEST message to the DHCP server.

• If the server returns a DHCP-ACK message or does not return any message within an interval, the DHCP relay agent performs the following operations:

  • Removes the relay entry.

  • Sends a DHCP-RELEASE message to the DHCP server to release the IP address.

• If the server returns a DHCP-NAK message, the relay agent keeps the entry.

With this feature disabled, the DHCP relay agent does not remove relay entries automatically. After a DHCP client releases its IP address, you must use the reset dhcp relay client-information on the relay agent to remove the corresponding relay entry.

Examples

# Disable periodic refresh of relay entries.
