"According to the reclaim-timer-wait-time, the server keeps fixed<br>
intervals of five seconds between the end of one cycle and the start<br>
of the next cycle. This guarantees the presence of 5-second-long<br>
periods during which the server remains responsive to DHCP queries and<br>
does not perform lease reclamation."<br>
<br>
So, there would be 5 seconds or whatever you set in<br>
"reclaim-timer-wait-time" between each reclamation.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
