# grace-period

#### Syntax

grace-period days [ hours [ minutes [ seconds ] ] ]

no grace-period

#### Release Information

Command introduced in JunosE Release 8.0.0.

#### Description

Configures the grace period for address leases allocated from the current DHCP local address pool. When the address lease expires, the address enters the grace period, when the address continues to be unavailable to other clients and can only be reassigned to the original client. This command applies only to expired releases—to optionally apply the grace period to addresses that are explicitly released by a client, you must enable the use-release-grace-period command. The no version restores the default, in which no grace period is associated with the local address pool.

#### Options

- days—Number of days in the grace period; in the range 0–32767
- hours—Number of hours in the grace period; in the range 0–23
- minutes—Number of minutes in the grace period; in the range 0–59
- seconds—Number of seconds in the grace period; in the range 0–59
