Offered (pre-lease)
: A lease has been offered to the given client, but that client has not yet
requested that the lease be acknowledged. It may be that the client also received an offer
from another DHCP server, in which case this offer will expire in approximately 2 minutes. If
the client requests this lease before that 2-minute interval elapses, this lease will change
status to Assigned. If the 2-minute interval expires, the offer record is deleted and the
associated IP address is returned immediately to the available address pool.
n
Released
: A lease was previously assigned to the given client, but that client has proactively
released it. A lease in this state will remain for a 1-hour grace period, after which it is deleted.
If the same client requests an IP address before the lease is deleted, it will be given the same
IP address previously served to it.
n
Unavailable Address
: A lease was offered to a client, but that client actively declined to use
the IP address. Typically this is because the client determined that another host on the same
subnetwork is already using that IP address. Upon receiving the client's decline message, the
DHCP server will mark the address as unavailable. The lease will remain in this state for a 4-
hour grace period, after which it is deleted. This status may also occur if the DHCP server
determines that the IP address is in use before it offers the address to a client (see the DHCP
server setting
Check that an IP address is not in use before offering it
).
