IP Address Leases

IP address leases are assigned as temporary by default. Temporary leases are useful if users and their machines change subnets frequently, or if systems come in and out of use fairly often.

Each site can specify whether the temporary leases on the site are renewable. You can set this site policy in the properties table with the LeaseNeg symbol. If you omit this symbol, the client cannot renegotiate its lease when it expires. If a client does not renew its IP address when it expires, it can be reused.
