Interesting.<br>
<br>
Seems the server hands out a lease covering the time from the
client's time to the current server time, essentially forever.<br>
<br>
This might have been done to compensate for the elapsed time from
the client sends the request until it is handled.<br>
<br>
One might think a cap on that time gap would be appropriate.<br>
<br>
I wonder if the client was ahead of the server time wise, would the
lease then be shorter -> negative -> no lease time?<br>

<div>Before we tried to collect the packet captures. I would
like to share some information on the issue.</div>
<div>While analyzing the logs, it has been observed that the
system time is updated to very old time stamp(almost 5yrs
back). From this point onwards we are able to see that the
huge lease value is getting updated in the client lease file. <br>

<br>
Just to expend on that ...<br>
There is also min-lease-time.<br>
<br>
If the client specifies a desired lease time then the server
will give that subject to min and max lease times.<br>
If the client does not ask for a specific lease time, then the
default lease time is offered.<br>
<br>
As already mentioned, the first thing to do is look more
closely at your packet captures. Check which devices the
packets come from, and what's in them - particularly what
options the client sends.<br>
