Here's more info on the latter part of what I mentioned. Friday, November 4, PM. Hi, Thanks for posting here. Friday, November 4, AM. Actually, the only mobile users within the company are OS X users.

Maybe our leastimeis set to short? I hope someone can clear this out for me. A lot of handy information in your article Ace. I think the awnser is in it somewhere. We'll have to try them out each first. Specified as an integer value between 0 to 4,,, seconds. File Name The name of the initial boot file which is to be loaded by a client. Boot files are generally made available to clients by TFTP. Get Lease Hostnames When selected, the server looks up the domain name for each client and uses the information from the zone to set the hostname option for the client.

A setting of 1 always results in the second request being answered rather than the first. This is useful for setting up a secondary DHCP server that allows the primary to respond to the first request.

Specified as an integer from 0 to Next Server Specifies the server where the boot file is located. This value is usually set automatically; using this option isn't recommended. Attention: You must only configure the Update Conflict Detection Service option at the configuration and server levels. You must enable Update Conflict Detection before enabling this option.

Default Lease Time. Specifies the default lease time that will be offered to DHCP clients. Maximum Lease Time.

Specifies the longest possible lease time that will be granted to a DHCP client. Minimum Lease Time. Specifies the shortest possible lease time that will be granted to a DHCP client. Client Updates. Indicates whether client updates should be used to maintain DDNS records for this client.

Specifies the hostname that should be used for DDNS updates for this client. Specifies the domain name appended to the client's reversed IP address to form the fully-qualified reverse DNS name. DDNS Updates. Indicates whether the server should attempt a DDNS update when the lease is confirmed. Ping Check. Always Broadcast. Sets the server to always broadcast its responses to compensate for some clients that wouldn't otherwise receive responses.

Always Reply RFC Indicates that the server should always reply with RFC style responses. File Name. The name of the initial boot file which is to be loaded by a client. Get Lease Hostnames. When selected, the server looks up the domain name for each client and uses the information from the zone to set the hostname option for the client. Minimum Seconds. This option should only be used if all DHCP traffic is relayed to the server; i. The default facility is daemon.

Possible facility values may be limited by the operating system on which the server is running but generally includes auth authpriv cron daemon ftp kern local0 through local7 lpr mail mark news ntp security syslog user and uucp. Note that setting a value for this parameter may require a corresponding update to the syslog. The type field consists of the type definition parameter and type-specific value s as follows: LLT [ hardware-type timestamp hardware-address ] - uses the link layer address plus timestamp DUID type.

If parameters are not specified hardware address and type on which the DHCPv6 server is running is used. This is the default DUID type.

EN enterprise-number enterprise-identifier - specifies use of the Enterprise number DUID type using the parameters specified. DHCP Server-Client Communications Parameters always-broadcast flag ; - this parameter configures the DHCP server to always broadcast its responses to clients within the scope this parameter is defined.

The secs field is the number of seconds that have elapsed since attempting to obtain or renew a lease as set by the client. This configuration would enable the primary server to shoulder the load but to have the backup server process the request if the primary is unavailable and the client reattempts its request with a higher secs value. This parameter is of limited utility as the server will use the port number specified in the local-port parameter when responding via relay agent unless the relay agent is addressed as Clients renewing leases when the server is in this state will be provided a lease time at least as long as the remaining lease time.

This feature enables the server to more quickly expire and potentially recycle leases to handle high lease demand periods. While bootp does not provide a renew mechanism and offers infinite leases this parameters enables sharing of addresses in an environment with highly mobile bootp clients.

As such it may only be used within a host declaration. Multiple addresses may optionally be specified to accommodate mobile M-DHCP clients that may connect from multiple subnets. In this scenario the DNS reverse zone would have been pre-populated with hostnames corresponding to IP addresses corresponding to the scope on which this parameter is set e.
