Which of the following percentage does the lease time of a DHCP client's IP address...

In DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol):

The client starts renewal at 50% (0.5) of the lease time to extend its lease with the DHCP server.

If unsuccessful, it tries again at 87.5% (0.875) before the lease expires.

Option A (Incorrect - 0.875): This is the second attempt if the first renewal fails.

Option B (Correct - 0.5): The first renewal attempt occurs when the lease reaches 50% of its duration.

Option C (Incorrect - 0.25): No renewal attempt happens at 25%.

Option D (Incorrect - 1): At 100% lease expiration, the IP is released and a new request is needed.

Thus, the correct answer is B.
