Figure 2-18. DHCP Display
The Network Assistant determines if an assigned address is already used by another device, and requests another address if necessary. This cycle can occur up to five times before the DHCP process fails.
OneTouch will renew its lease according the RFC2131, which is the RFC that defines DHCP, or by using the renew and rebind values received from the server.
The time at which OneTouch will renew its lease depends on whether the DHCP server issued a renew time period. If the DHCP server issued a renew time period, OneTouch will attempt to renew its lease at the specified time. Otherwise, OneTouch will attempt to renew the lease at 50% of the lease period. If OneTouch is unable to contact the DHCP server, it will try again to renew the lease at 87.5% of the lease period or the time specified by the server. This is called the rebind time.
If OneTouch is still unable to contact the DCHP server to renew the lease, it continues to use the IP address it was given, but it continues to try to renew the lease at the renew and rebind times.
If at any time, the DHCP server explicitly notifies OneTouch that its lease is no longer valid, OneTouch will discontinue its use of the IP address it was given.
