    Abstract: A dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) relay device identifies, based on configuration information, a client device for which the DHCP relay device is to reserve an IP address. The DHCP relay device obtains, based on identifying the client device, the IP address. The DHCP relay device causes, based on the configuration information and after obtaining the IP address, the IP address to be renewed. The DHCP relay device determines, after obtaining the IP address, that the DHCP relay device is to provide the IP address to the client device, and communicates, after determining that the DHCP relay device is to provide the IP address to the client device, with the client device to provide the IP address to the client device.

    Abstract: A network device may receive, from endpoint devices, login requests for a server device and may establish logins with the server device based on the login requests. The network device may generate a discover message with a bulk release message indicating that the network device is capable of bulk release and including an identifier of the network device. The network device may include the address of the network device in the bulk release message based on the address of the network device not being shared across interfaces of the network device or may include a group identifier for the endpoint devices in the bulk release message based on the address of the network device being shared across the interfaces. The network device may provide the bulk release message to the server device based on determining that a restart of components of the network device is to occur.
