Speeding up DHCP

[Micron1090]

We are testing some new wireless devices here, and we've setup a test dhcp environment for them. There are multiple subnets across the campus, and one of the more important tests is what happens when one roams to another subnet.

We're finding that when you roam to another subnet, the release/renewal process takes over a minute. Anyone know of a way to speed that process up? Are there any scope options that will allow a faster renewal?

Thanks

Are you sure that is DHCP what is taking over a minute or is it the whole authentication process with the wireless device. Sometimes releasing on wireless device and getting into another can slow down the process of acquiring a new IP.
