Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must upgrade to FastIron 08.0.90 using the Unified FastIron Image (UFI). Refer to the “Software Upgrade and Downgrade” chapter in the RUCKUS FastIron Software Upgrade Guide for more information.

The renewal time must always be less than then the least preferred lifetime configured on the server. Refer to the preferred-lifetime command for more information. The renewal time must always be less than the configured rebind time. Refer to the rebind-time command for more information. The no form of the command restores the default.

When configuring the DHCPv6 server using this command along with the preferred-lifetime (DHCPv6), valid-lifetime (DHCPv6), and rebind-time (DHCPv6) commands, enter the commands in the following order:

  1. preferred-lifetime (DHCPv6)
  2. valid-lifetime (DHCPv6)
  3. rebind-time (DHCPv6)
  4. renewal-time (DHCPv6)
Note: Failure to enter the commands in the order outlined previously when configuring the DHCPv6 server results in a CLI error.
Examples

The following example sets the renewal time for a DHCPv6 server to 300 seconds.
