Prompt clients to initiate DHCP request

Hello, as title suggests, is there any way to prompt clients to initiate a DHCP request other than reconnecting the physical cable? I’m asking from the perspective of firewall/router/switch/ap.

Scenario: you want to change the scope on your LAN, and instantly remove the old scope, how can you ensure that from the above mentioned units the clients gets new addresses while they are still on the old lease?

I am recognizing while typing that I’m having trouble to clearly articulate my question - but I hope I am making sense.
