Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: The IP address offered to a client is only for a limited period of time. There is actually a certain amount of time that the client can use and keep this IP address.
Detailed explanation-2: -The IP address information assigned by DHCP is only valid for a limited period of time, and is known as a DHCP lease. The period of validity is called the DHCP lease time.
Detailed explanation-3: -The DHCP server responds to the client request by providing IP configuration information previously specified by a network administrator. This includes a specific IP address, as well as a time period–also called a lease–for which the allocation is valid.
Detailed explanation-4: -Following are the disadvantages of DHCP: ➨DHCP server can be single point of failure in networks having only one configured DHCP server. ➨DHCP packets can not travel across router, Hence relay agent is necessary to have DHCP server handle all leases on both network segments.
