Dynamic Bindings
Refresh
Enable or disable periodic refresh of dynamic client entries, and set the refresh
interval.
Via the DHCP relay agent, a DHCP client sends a DHCP-RELEASE unicast message to
the DHCP server to relinquish its IP address. In this case the DHCP relay agent simply
conveys the message to the DHCP server, thus it does not remove the IP address from
dynamic client entries. To solve this problem, the periodic refresh of dynamic client
entries feature is introduced.
With this feature, the DHCP relay agent uses the IP address of a client and the MAC
address of the DHCP relay agent 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
a specified interval, which means that the IP address is assignable now, the DHCP
relay agent will age out the client entry.
• If the server returns a DHCP-NAK message, which means the IP address is still in
use, the relay agent will not age it out.
If the Auto option is selected, the refresh interval is calculated by the relay agent
according to the number of client entries.
