## Specify the Amount of Time After Which an IP Address Is Made Available

Use the `offer-reuse` command to specify the maximum timeframe after which an offered IP address can be returned to the pool of free addresses. This timeframe can be from 1-120 seconds. In this example, the timeout is set to 10 seconds.

1. Configure the `offer-reuse` property to time out on switch 1.

       SEFOS# configure terminal
       SEFOS(config)# ip dhcp server offer-reuse 10
       SEFOS(config)# end

2. View the change to the configuration.

       SEFOS# show ip dhcp server information
