Configuration notes for DHCP servers

• When using DHCP on a router, if you have a DHCP address for one interface, and you want to

connect to the DHCP server from another interface, you must disable DHCP on the first interface,
then enable DHCP on the second interface.

• When DHCP is disabled, and then re-enabled, or if the system is rebooted, the TFTP process

requires approximately three minutes to run in the background before file images can be downloaded
manually.

• Once a port is assigned a leased IP address, it is bound by the terms of the lease regardless of the

link state of the port.

Disabling or re-enabling Auto-Configuration

For a switch, you can disable or enable this feature using the following commands.

device(config)# ip dhcp-client enable

device(config)# no ip dhcp-client enable

For a router, you can disable or enable this feature using the following commands.

device(config-if-e1000-0/1/1)# ip dhcp-client enable

device(config-if-e1000-0/1/1)# no ip dhcp-client enable

Syntax: [no] ip dhcp-client enable

Disabling or re-enabling Auto-Update

Auto-update is enabled by default. To disable it, use the following command.

device(config)# no ip dhcp-client auto-update enabled

To re-enable auto-update after it has been disabled, use the following command.

device(config)# ip dhcp-client auto-update enabled

Syntax:no ip dhcp-client auto-update enabled
