request dhcp server reconfigure
Syntax request dhcp server reconfigure (all | address | interface interface–name | logical-system
logical-system–name | routing-instance routing-instance–name)
Release Information Command introduced in Junos OS Release 10.0.
Command introduced in Junos OS Release 12.3R2 for EX Series switches.
Description Initiate reconfiguration processing for the specified DHCP clients if they are in the bound
state. If the clients are in the reconfiguring state, this command has no effect. If the clients
are in any state other than bound or reconfiguring, this command has the same effect
as the clear dhcp server binding command.
When the local server state machine starts the reconfiguration process on a bound client,
the client transitions to the reconfiguring state and the local server sends a forcerenew
message to the client. Because the client was in the bound state before entering the
reconfiguring state, all subscriber (or DHCP client) services, such as forwarding and
statistics, continue to work. An exponential back-off timer determines the interval at
which the forcerenew message is sent. If the final attempt is unsuccessful, the client is
returned to its original state by default. You can optionally include the clear-on-abort
statement to configure the client to be cleared when reconfiguration fails.
Options all—Initiate reconfiguration for all DHCP clients.
address—Initiate reconfiguration for DHCP client with the specified IP address or MAC
address.
interface interface-name—Initiate reconfiguration for all DHCP clients on this logical
interface (clients whose initial login requests were received over the specified
interface).
NOTE: You cannot use the interface interface-name option with the request
dhcp server reconfigure command for DHCP passive clients (clients that
are added as a result of DHCP snooped packets). For passive clients, the
interface is not guaranteed to be the next-hop interface to the client, as
is the case for active clients.
logical-system logical-system-name—Initiate reconfiguration for all DHCP clients on
the specified logical system.
routing-instance routing-instance-name—Initiate reconfiguration reconfigured for all
DHCP clients in the specified routing instance.
