A DHCP assigned IP address has a lease duration of 6 days. After how many days does the client start to try to renew the address if it is not rebooted?


EXPLANATION

After half the lease time is over, the client will start to try to renew and extend the current lease with the DHCP server he got the address from. If he is unsuccessful, he will try again when 87.5% of the lease time is up, trying to find any server that can renew and extend the lease. If no server is found, the client releases the address after the lease time is up and the administrator is in trouble...
