This article provides information on how to change the DHCP retransmission-attempt and retransmission-interval values.
Use the following command to change the retransmission-attempt and retransmission-interval values:
edit interface <interface name> unit <unit> family inet dhcp set retransmission-attempt <value> - Value can be between 0-6. Maximum number of discover messages that be sent are 6. set retransmission-interval <value> - The value (in seconds) can be between 4-64.
edit interface <interface name> unit <unit> family inet dhcp set retransmission-attempt <value> - Value can be between 0-6. Maximum number of discover messages that be sent are 6. set retransmission-interval <value> -
The value (in seconds) can be between 4-64.
When the retransmission-attempt is set to 0, SRX never sends DHCP Discover messages; so it is conclusive that setting the retransmission-attempt value to 0 disables the DHCP client on the interface.
