dhcpserver

DHCP server will mark the address as unavailable. The lease will remain in this state for 4 hours, after which it is reverts to the Reserved (inactive) status.

Offered (pre-lease)

A lease has been offered to the given client, but that client has not yet requested that the lease be acknowledged. It may be that the client also received an offer from another DHCP server, in which case this offer will expire in approximately 2 minutes. If the client requests this lease before that 2 minute interval elapses, this lease will change status to Assigned.

Released

A lease was previously assigned to the given client, but that client has proactively released it. A lease in this state will remain for 1 hour, after which it is deleted. If the same client requests an IP address before the lease is deleted, it will be given the same IP address previously served to it.

Unavailable Address

A lease was offered to a client, but that client actively declined to use the IP address. Typically this is because the client determined that another host on the same subnetwork is already using that IP address. Upon receiving the client's decline message, the DHCP server will mark the address as unavailable. The lease will remain in this state for 4 hours, after which it is deleted.

This status may also occur if the DHCP Server determines that the IP address is in use before it offers the address to a client. See the "set dhcpserver" command option "conflictdetect" option.
