Reset IOS DHCP Server

I am trying to find the least disruptive way to reset an IOS/Router-based DHCP server. Specifically, I added an "option ## ip <addr>" line to my scopes and the option does not appear to have been handed out after I release/renewed. I am guessing the DHCP service needs to be restarted on the router???

Either way, I want to restart the DHCP server on my router without rebooting the router, if I can. Any suggestions? The only thing I can see that might work is the "no dhcp service" command, but I hesitate to use it on my production router without knowing the consequenses.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Jeff.

Jeff,

You can safely reset he DHCP service as you've suggested (no service dhcp, service dhcp).
