Period of validity for an assignment
The addresses assigned to the computer are valid only for a limited period of
time. Once this period of validity has expired, the computer can no longer use
these addresses. In order for the computer to keep from constantly losing its
addresses (above all its IP address), it applies for an extension ahead of time
that it is generally sure to be granted. The computer loses its address only if
it is switched off when the period of validity expires.
For each request, a host can ask for a specific period of validity. However, a
DHCP server can also assign the host a period of validity that differs from
what it requested. The DHCP module provides two settings for influencing
the period of validity:
Maximum lease time in minutes
Here you can enter the maximum period of validity that the DHCP server
assigns a host.
If a host requests a validity that exceeds the maximum length, this will
nevertheless be the maximum available validity!
The default setting is 6000 minutes (approx. 4 days).
Default lease time in minutes
Here you can enter the period of validity that is assigned if the host
makes no request. The default setting is 500 minutes (approx. 8 hours).
Priority for the DHCP server—request assignment
In the default configuration, almost all the settings in the Windows network
environment are selected in such a way that the necessary parameters are
requested via DHCP. Check the settings by clicking
Start Settings
Control Panel Network . Select the 'TCP/IP' entry for your network
adapter and open Properties .
Check the various tabs for special entries, such as for the IP address or the
standard gateway. If you would like all of the values to be assigned by the
DHCP server, simply delete the corresponding entries.
Priority for a workstation—overwriting an assignment
If a computer uses parameters other than those assigned to it (e.g. a different
default gateway), these parameters must be set directly on the workstation
computer. The computer then ignores the corresponding parameters
assigned to it by the DHCP server.
