Parameters:
0 to 23;
Default:

Command Mode:
DHCP Address Pool Mode
Usage Guide:
DHCP is the protocol to assign network addresses dynamically instead of
permanently, hence the introduction of ease duration. Lease settings should be decided
based on network conditions: too long lease duration offsets the flexibility of DHCP, while
too short duration results in increased network traffic and overhead. The default lease
duration of ES4624-SFP/ES4626-SFP switch is 1 day.
Example:
Setting the lease of DHCP pool “1” to 3 days 12 hours and 30 minutes.
