DHCP: max-lease-time?

[ccm]

Hello,

in file dhcpd.conf,
what do
"default-lease-time 600;" and
"max-lease-time 7200;"
do anyway?

I have excluded these two option in the dhcpd.conf, and my DHCPD is working fine.

I'm pretty sure you don't need them, but you can set them. IIRC, the DHCP client also requests a certain lease time along with the other requests. If the DHCP server has a lease time specified, it gives it that lease time. Otherwise, it gives the client the lease time it asks for.
