DHCP Available: 0%

HI,

I’m having a problem with my DHCP. I have 2 DHCP servers with two different
subnets, the problem is that I don’t have any IPs available, and there’s no
way that I have that many computers on my network. So I have these questions:

-Is there a way to clear unactive IPs? I notice that there are unused IP and
even some computers with two leases.
-What’s the optimal time for the lease? I have 8 days.

Thanks for your help…

The optimal time for DHCP lease depend on few factors. Do you have a lot of
laptop moving from site A to site B? because, when a computer receive an IP
address from a DHCP server, the server will kept the ip address until the
lease will finish even if the computer as left the subnet. So if you have
this situation, a lease of 1 or 2 days will be better. If your lease is too
short, you will have another problem, the DNS server will have some problem
to be up to date.
