Clearing Lease

You can clear active and abandoned leases from the Infoblox Portal. When you clear an active or abandoned lease, its IP address becomes available for reuse. 

To clear active or abandoned leases, complete the following:

  1. From the Infoblox Portal, click Configure > Networking > IPAM/DHCP > Address Spaces.

  2. Click IP Space > Address Block > corresponding Subnet. Click the desired Range in the subnet. 

  3. Select the desired lease. Click ☰ for the desired lease and select Clear Lease. For clearing multiple leases, select multiple leases and click Leases > Clear Lease

You can clear multiple leases from one subnet or one range at a time. This feature has a limitation of 1000 leases. If you clear lease for large subnets, for example 10.0.0.0/8, the processing will be very slow due to the size of the network. 


Note

Clearing the lease for an IP address assigned to a NIOS-X Server in a primary zone does not clear the A and DHCID records. As a workaround, delete the A and DHCID record manually. For more information, see Deleting a Resource Record
