Thanks Ben. I've been trying to find documentation that speaks to the lease duration interval in regards to reservations. I haven't come up with much so far. I'd like to assume that if the scope has an X day lease duration, reservations would follow the same renewal process.
None of our scopes are configured with an unlimited lease duration. I guess I may just have to pick a scope, make some changes, and test with some clients. - Sean On Mon, Jun 7, 2010 at 3:08 PM, Ben Scott <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Jun 7, 2010 at 6:53 PM, Sean Martin <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Do clients with a DHCP reservation go through the same renewal process > > (check once at 50%, try again at 87.5%, etc.)? > > I believe a DHCP reservation is simply a server configuration > artifact, not something in the actual DHCP wire protocol. > > So, that would really depend on the implementation, of both server > and client.
