ip dhcp-server arp-ping-timeout

Sets the ARP-ping timeout value.
Syntax
ip dhcp-server arp-ping-timeout number
no ip dhcp-server arp-ping-timeout number
Command Default

ARP-ping timeout is not enabled.

Parameters
number
The number of seconds to wait for a response to an ARP-ping packet. The minimum setting is 5 seconds and the maximum is 30 seconds.
Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The no form of the command disables the ARP ping timeout. If there is no response to the ARP-ping packet within a set amount of time (set in seconds), the server deletes the client from the lease-binding database.

Note: Do not alter the default value unless it is necessary. Increasing the value of this timer may increase the time to get console access after a reboot.
Examples

The following example sets the ARP-ping timeout to 25 seconds. 

device# ip dhcp-server arp-ping-timeout 25
