The DHCP server has assigned an address, but the client did not renew before the lease timer ended. What status will be listed for this address?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth

DHCP lease states in NIOS:

Scenario: Client gets IP (e.g., 192.168.1.10, 1-hour lease), doesn't renew, and timer expires.

C (Expired): Lease times out, marked ''Expired'' in NIOS (Data Management > DHCP > Leases), available for reassignment. Correct.

A: Active is for current, unexpired leases. Incorrect.

B: Released requires client action (DHCPRELEASE). Incorrect.

D: Abandoned is for declined or conflicting leases, not timeouts. Incorrect.

Practical Example: In an INE lab, set a 5-minute lease, wait for expiry, check ''Expired'' status, and troubleshoot lease reuse.

No way, it’s definitely C) Expired. The client didn’t renew.

Haha, the client must have been like, "Lease? What lease? I'm outta here!"

B) Released? More like "I forgot to renew and now I'm homeless."

D) Abandoned sounds like the address just gave up on life. I'm going with C) Expired.

I’m confused about "Abandoned" and "Expired." I thought "Abandoned" was for addresses that clients no longer need, but I can't recall clearly.

I feel like this is similar to a practice question we did on DHCP leases, and "Expired" seems to fit best.

I'm leaning towards C) Expired, but I want to double-check the definitions of each option just to be sure I'm not missing anything. Gotta cover all my bases on this exam.

Okay, let me walk through this step-by-step. If the address was assigned but not renewed, it makes sense that the status would be Expired, not Active or Released. I'm pretty confident C) is the right answer here.

C) Expired is the correct answer. The client didn't renew the lease before it ended, so the address status will be listed as Expired.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about "Released" being used when a client actively gives up an address.

I think the status would be "Expired" since the lease timer ran out and the client didn't renew.

I think the answer is C) Expired. The question says the client didn't renew before the lease ended, so the address status would be listed as expired.
