Avalanche: Can we enable DHCP in the Client Subnets DHCP tab, and specify a DHCP:// action in its Action list?

• No we can not enable DHCP in the Client Subnets DHCP tab, and specify a DHCP:// action in its Action list. From the Avalanche help: Limitations The period over which an IP address is allocated to a client is referred to as a lease. Once a client obtains a lease from the DHCP server, it is the client's responsibility to relinquish the lease, as there is no lease expiration. You must explicitly invoke the RELEASE command when you want to relinquish the DHCP lease.The DHCP RENEW/REBIND timers are not supported in the current release.For a given test, you cannot enable DHCP in the Client Subnets DHCP tab, and specify a DHCP:// action in its Action list. This is an invalid configuration.You should disable Gratuitous ARP in the Ports tab, if you are using DHCP:// in the Action list.Some DHCP servers cannot release and renew as fast as the client can do a DHCP request. In these cases, you should insert a sleep or think time between groups of actions, as in the following example: DHCP://GETIP RETRIES=5 TIMEOUT=5000 1 get http://192.168.1.1/index.html DHCP://release sleep (gives the DHCP server time to refresh its database; longer or shorter times may apply) DHCP://GETIP RETRIES=5 TIMEOUT=5000 1 get http://192.168.1.1/index.html DHCP://release
