DHCP for IP addresses for our hpux servers

[Jim Galliher]

I would like to know how often a hpux server that is a dhcp client goes back to the dhcp server to update that it is still using the ip address.


thanks!

Shalom,

That depends on the lease, which is controlled by the DHCP server, not the client.

Use dhcptools -p to get lease times for clients.

My simple answer is when the server boots.

I wonder why a **server** should be a DHCP client at all ...

[Jim Galliher]

I'm not sure if i looked this up right but is this the lease information needed?

dhcp_server_settings:\
dhcpdb-write-perf="0":\
callback-style="OLD":\
offer-duration="600":
dhcp_default_client_settings:\
lease-grace-period=00000005:


thanks again!

Dear Jim

simply ip is getting each cleint depends on logging
suppose client a is logging first he is getting one ip then second guy then third one it is dynamic this mean suppose the first guy is logging next time he will get another ip or same

thanks and regards

Shalom,

You are looking at the client.

The lease is controlled by the SERVER.
