Force DHCP leases to expire?

Post by Lucky75 »

Hey,

Is it possible to force dhcp leases to expire and have everyone be given a new IP?

I'm pretty sure this is not possible. Lease renewal needs to be initiated by the client, not the server.

Came looking for an answer to this question myself, the best I have come up with is to reboot the router and reboot the device that has changed IP. If you want it to get a specific IP, static assign the IP to the devices MAC address and do the above process.
