Enabling client offline detection on the DHCP

Enabling DHCP logging on the DHCP server
The DHCP logging feature enables the DHCP server to generate DHCP logs and send them to the
information center. For information about the log destination and output rule configuration in the
information center, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.
As a best practice, disable this feature if the log generation affects the device performance or
reduces the address allocation efficiency. For example, this situation might occur when a large
number of clients frequently come online or go offline.
