      Hello, for renewal of all dhcp clients ip addresses in LAN interface, ( I am working on our juniper switches for dhcp snooping and DAI and there is an instruction to troubleshoot by renewing dhcp client leases), do I just restart the service from the DHCP lease status page?
      Thanks.

        I don't know that you can do anything to cause leases to renew. They'll renew when the clients are ready to renew. The server only responds to the requests. What you can do is disconnect/reconnect the Ethernet cable to a device. It will then do a renew.

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...
