dhcp global set commit-interval

Purpose

Configure the intervals at which the DHCP server updates the lease database.

Format

dhcp global set commit-interval <minutes>

Mode

Configure

Description

After each client transaction, the DHCP server does not immediately update the

information in the lease database. Lease update information is stored in flash memory and

flushed to the database at certain intervals. You can use the dhcp global set commit-

interval command to specify this interval.

Note:

Writing to flash memory can be time-consuming if there are many clients on the

network.

Parameters

commit-interval <hours>

The interval, in hours, that the DHCP server updates the lease database. The default

value is 1 hour. You can specify a value between 1-48.

Restrictions

None.

Example

To configure the DHCP server to update the lease database once every 2 hours:

ssr(config)# dhcp global set commit-interval 2
