Сбросить dhcp кэш windows

Summary

Just some notes. I have my days where I do this a lot. But, just in case
I don’t and forget down the road. Might as well have this available.

These are generally useful when I’m troubleshooting DHCP issues and IP
issues on Windows workstations. I haven’t provided any output. But, if I
feel it’s needed. I will soon.

I’ll update this with any other useful commands.

Note that all commands will need to be executed as Administrator.

Showing IP Information

I’ll provide a quick link to how to show your IP interface information
on Windows systems soon.

Sends a DHCPRELEASE message to the DHCP server on the network. This will
release the current DHCP configuration; discarding the IP configuration
for all adapters on the system.

This operation is only performed on all adapters that are configured to
obtain an IP configuration automatically.

Renew

Renews the DHCP configuration for all adapters on the system. Will do so
for all adapters on the system configured to obtain an IP configuration
automagically.

FlushDNS

Flush the DNS resolver cache on the local system. This will discard
invalid/broken entries that have been added to the DNS cache
dynamically.

Conclusion

That concludes the notes for today. This is generally a troubleshooting
step when you’re troubleshooting DHCP on a Windows network interface.
Should be useful in the future.

The following steps will walk you through the procedure to discard the current IP configuration and request a new one from a DHCP server. These steps can only be applied if a network adapter is configured to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP). The steps will work on all recent Windows versions (7 — 11).

What is a DHCP lease, and why might I need to release and renew it?

A DHCP lease refers to temporarily assigning an IP address to a device on a network by the DHCP server. Releasing and renewing a DHCP lease can resolve network connectivity issues, such as IP address conflicts or after changes to the network configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I release and renew a DHCP lease on a specific network adapter?

Yes. Use ipconfig /release [adapter name] and ipconfig /renew [adapter name].
Replace [adapter name] with the name of the network adapter you wish to renew. You can find the adapter name by running ipconfig /all.

What should I do if I get an error while trying to release or renew the lease?

Ensure you are running the Command Prompt as an administrator. If the problem persists, there might be an issue with the network adapter drivers or the DHCP server. Try restarting your computer and router.

How long does a DHCP lease last?

The duration of a DHCP lease is configured by your network administrator or Internet Service Provider. It can vary greatly, ranging from minutes to several days.

Will releasing and renewing my DHCP lease change my IP address?

It might. When you renew your lease, the DHCP server may assign a new IP address based on availability and the lease policy.

Is it safe to release and renew a DHCP lease?

Yes, it’s a standard procedure and safe to perform. It does not harm your computer or network.

Can I automate the DHCP lease renewal process?

Windows automatically renews DHCP leases at regular intervals. Manual intervention is typically only needed for troubleshooting.

What if I cannot connect to the internet after renewing my DHCP lease?

Check your network cables and router. If other devices are connected, the issue might be with your computer’s network settings or hardware. Restarting your computer can often resolve such issues.
