DHCP Lease Time

Description

DHCP Lease Time refers to the time period for which each client can use an IP address automatically assigned by the DHCP server. After the time period expires, a new IP address will be assigned to the client.
  • Limited: Set the DHCP lease time. The unit can be day or hour.
  • Unlimited: The DHCP lease time does not expire.

FAQ

Is a New DHCP Lease Time Applied Immediately After Being Changed?

If the time period is changed, the new time period is automatically applied after half of the existing time period has passed.

If you want the new time period to be applied immediately, restart the ECS or log in to the ECS to run the Windows or Linux commands.
