DHCP leases

2013-01-29 Thread Wade Shearer
Plug, Are DHCP leases exclusive (generally)? The point--as I understand it--is to remember which address each client receives so that they can be issued the same one each time they connect as long as they connect fairly consistently. The address isn't reserved for them exclusively (within the

It all depends on configuration. Typically there is a lease time that specifies how long a machine should have an IP address. If you have configured your DHCP server to have 10 addresses available and all 10 are leased out and an 11th machine connects, it won't get an IP until one of the 10

none that follow the DHCP spec. The problem with DHCP is that is is client driven, not server driven, so even if you assign it to someone else, when the client that had it comes back online and is still within the lease period, it will often continue to use the IP that it has been leased,

I can't speak to how all routers implement it, but from what I know of the protocol, it would be a poor design choice to allow re-use of IPs before the lease expires. The problem is that the lease time information is sent to the client, so it's also aware of how long it can go before it needs to
