Question : Cisco Router DHCP Lease times - force client renewal
|
|
I have a Cisco 1700 series router with DHCP enabled wih infinite lease time. DHCP is handing out DNS addresses however I had to change the IP address for DNS servers. Being that the lease time was infinite, is there any way I could get the router to force the workstations to renew their DHCP addresses to reflect the new DNS servers?
Cisco 1700 series router IOS ver. 12.0
Thanks TomW

Another option would be to issue the "ipconfig /flushdns" and "ipconfig /registerdns" command from a command window in Windows XP. This forces Windows XP to renew leases as well.
or
Option 2:
On the router change the lease time to 0 with the following commands
ip dhcp pool lease 0
then change the lease back after the workstations have rebooted.
ip dhcp pool lease infinite
Let me know your thoughts MP
