HI. I have a problem, when IDRAC is getting its IP address from DHCP server running on blackbox appliance. DHCP server offers indefinite lease, so whenever there is a problem with the appliance or iDRAC or network connection, iDRAC does not renew its lease. Even moved to another DHCP server, it'\s still keeping the old IP address.

Solution would be to have "DHCP renew interval" settings on the DRAC, so it could periodically re-request DHCP lease. DRAC already has the functionality to renew the lease, if you reset it it does exactly that.
This is the idea I am submitting.

Thank you
