The value that specifies the length of time a client may hold a DHCP lease is called the "lease duration" or "lease time." This value is set by the DHCP server and determines how long an IP address is allocated to a client before it must be renewed or released. Typically measured in seconds, the lease duration can vary based on network policies and requirements. After the lease expires, the client must request a new lease to continue using that IP address.

DHCP uses the clients MAC address to determine the IP address a client receives.
The port 67 and port 68 are used by DHCP and the DHCP clients.
Router is usually configured as a DHCP client for WAN (Internet) network and as a DHCP server for local network.
The Integrated Router is both a DHCP client and a server (p 186 BMF)
renewal time value-after 50 percent of the lease time is expired the DHCP client attempts to renew its lease with the DHCP server that issued the IP address. This renewal time value is referred to as T1 Binding time is value- after 87.5 percent of the lease time has expired the DHCP client attempts to renew it's lease again if unsuccessful, it initiates a DHCPDiscover broadcast request to receive an IP address frt om any DHCP server on its network. this Binding time value is referred to as T 2
A. The PTR resource record.
A DHCP server will privide a client with a valid IP address for the network for which the DHCP server is providing a service.Where there is no DHCP server the IP address for a client must be set manually. When doing this care must be taken to ensure that two IP addresses are not set the same on the network.
Below are the steps how DHCP Client/Server relationship works.IN the network the clicent device requests a packets to DHCP server to login to the network. This Packet known as DHCPDiscover.The DHCP Server receives that packet and in responce it sends a packet to the client, this is called as DHCPOffer. This DHCPOffer packet contains unleased or unused list of IP(Internet Protocol) addresses over the LAN.The DHCP Client receives the DHCPOffer from DHCP Server and responds. This is called DHCPRequest, and this request contains the accepted IP address in the DHCPOffer it received from DHCP Server.Now the DHCP Server receives the DHCPRequest and sends back the DHCPPackets and lets clients to access network.
