Enclosure Base IP Address (EBIPA) lease time question

[chuckk281]

Meg asked an IP address question:

*********************

Are the enclosure IP address lease times user configurable?  Can’t find anything in the gui.

*****************

Monty replied:

No – the EBIPA lease times are fixed at 4 minutes on the Onboard Administrator.

Hoa asked:

So what happen if the lease time extends beyond 4 minutes how the OAs deal with that?

Monty replied:

We are talking about the Onboard Administrator EBIPA feature which employs a DHCP service customized to issue an IP address to a bay enabled for EBIPA based on a specific bay DHCP request.

The OA EBIPA DHCP service has a fixed lease time.  The DHCP clients request renewals in accordance with the DHCP RFC – typically beginning after the half-life of the lease.
