DHCP Lease Definition: A DHCP Lease is the amount of time a DHCP server allows a device to use a specific IP address before requiring the device to renew the lease or acquire a new IP address.
DHCP Lease: A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) lease refers to the duration for which a DHCP server temporarily assigns an IP address to a client device within a network. This assignment includes various configuration parameters like subnet mask, gateway, and DNS servers. Once the lease period expires, the client device must renew the lease to retain the IP address, or it will be released back to the DHCP server's pool for reassignment to another device.
