DHCP Lease Duration

[cory1768]

I tried searching for the answer before hand and I couldn't find anything. Does anyone know how to set a lease to unlimited? I tried setting it to 0 and after a save the value was cleared.

Thanks in advance.

For the DHCP server? A static mapping is more appropriate than a near unlimited lease time. Not sure DHCP was built with unlimited lease time in mind. ;)

Yes, it's called a static address.  8)


If I have my maths correct, the maximum lease time is 1099511627286 seconds which is a very long time, there is no such thing as infinity, however a lease of that length will almost certainly outlive you... I say almost because you may not be a human. :P

Hehe, I said "near".
