Syntax

reconfigure {attempts attempts;clear-on-abort;timeout interval;token token;}

Hierarchy Level

[edit system services dhcp-local-server ]

Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 12.1 for EX Series switches.

Description

For extended Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers, enable dynamic reconfiguration triggered by the server of all DHCP clients.

Options

attempts

Number of attempts made to reconfigure all DHCP clients.

clear-on-abort

Delete all DHCP clients when reconfiguration fails; that is, when the maximum number of retry attempts have been made without success.

timeout interval

Initial value (in seconds) between attempts to reconfigure all DHCP clients. Each successive attempt doubles the interval between attempts. For example, if the first value is 2, the first retry is attempted 2 seconds after the first attempt fails. The second retry is attempted 4 seconds after the first retry fails. The third retry is attempted 8 seconds after the second retry fails, and so on. A group configuration takes precedence over a DHCP local server configuration.

token

Configure a plain-text token for all DHCP clients. The token enables rudimentary entity authentication to protect against inadvertently instantiated DHCP servers. A null token (empty string) indicates that the configuration token functionality is not enabled.

Required Privilege Level

system—To view this statement in the configuration.

system-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
