![]() I did testing to verify above mentioned facts and YES it works like that. Meanwhile, client will keep on searching for DHCP server every 5 mins and once it receive response from server, will abandon APIPA and will get new IP from server. If client can’t get response from gateway, it will consider itself to be out of network and hence will auto configure (put APIPA address) itself. If default gateway responds that client assumes that it is still in same network and hence keeps on using IP address (Remember lease time is still left). Question: If DHCP client have got IP from DHCP server and enough time is left before lease expire, what will happen if client restarts and the server is unavailable?Īnswer: If client is not able to reach server at time of startup, it tries to ping default gateway that was assigned previously. Probably you will also find this interesting. So putting them together in this post for future references. Recently I was doing some R & D on DHCP and found some interesting facts about DHCP client during restart. I hope this post finds you in good health and spirit.
