(Optional) Configuring Lease Management for a Remote Address Pool

The router allows you to manage the leases of remote address pools.

Context

When the router serves as a DHCP relay agent, the router may disable ARP probe on access interfaces if some clients do not respond to ARP probe packets sent by the router. If a client is powered off or goes offline unexpectedly, the router cannot detect that the client is offline and therefore does not send Release packets to the DHCP server. As a result, the IP address used by the client cannot be released from the remote address pool. To prevent this problem, enable lease management for the remote address pool.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run ip pool pool-name bas remote [ rui-slave ]

    The remote address pool view is displayed.

  3. Run remote-ip lease manage

    Lease management function is enabled for the remote address pool.

  4. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
