Delete a DHCP Lease

In some situations, you might want to delete a DHCP lease. For example, if you want a DHCP client to get a different IP address, or if a client shuts down without releasing its IP address and you want the address to be available to other clients.

You can use the following API to delete a DHCP lease:

DELETE /api/v1/dhcp/servers/<server-id>/leases?ip=<ip>&mac=<mac>

To ensure that the correct lease is deleted, call the following API before and after the DELETE API:

GET /api/v1/dhcp/servers/<server-id>/leases

After calling the DELETE API, make sure that the output of the GET API does not show the lease that was deleted.

For more information, see the NSX API Guide.
