Clear DHCP Leases

Table of Contents

You can clear DHCP leases before they time out and are released automatically. You have several options for clearing leases.

Release expired DHCP Leases of an interface (server), such as ethernet1/2, before the hold timer releases them automatically. Those addresses will be available in the IP pool again.
```
admin@PA-220> clear dhcp lease interface ethernet1/2 expired-only
```
Release the lease of a particular IP address, for example, 192.168.3.1.
```
admin@PA-220> clear dhcp lease interface ethernet1/2 ip 192.168.3.1
```
Release the lease of a particular MAC address, for example, f0:2c:ae:29:71:34.
```
admin@PA-220> clear dhcp lease interface ethernet1/2 mac f0:2c:ae:29:71:34
```
