dhcp

[Marcel Kunath]

Ok,

I am no pro so I got some questions:

We have a DHCP server which has the ability to give 50 connections at the same
time via 50 dynamically assigned IP addresses.

Today is day X and I get IP 23 with a lease of 3 years.

What happens when suddenly 50 other people sign on and I am not online? What
happens to my lease?

What happens when some others sign off again and I sign on? Will I get my old
IP back or a new one for sure or gets my old lease re-instantiated?

What happens if I am online on my lease and 49 others on their lease and a 51st
customer tries to sign on? Will my lease remain the same or will it be reduced
in length due to the load?
