Usage Guidelines

The dhcp client expected-lease command applies to DHCP clients. An expected lease can be contained in Option 51 of a DHCP Request message sent to the server. The server compares the expected lease with the lease in the address pool and assigns a shorter lease to the client.

Example

# Set the expected lease to 7200s on VLANIF100.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] interface vlanif 100
[HUAWEI-Vlanif100] dhcp client expected-lease 7200

# Set the expected lease to 7200s on GE0/0/1.
