Command Usage
• This command issues a BOOTP or DHCP client request for any IP interface that has been set to
BOOTP or DHCP mode through the
ip address command.
• DHCP requires the server to reassign the client’s last address if available.
• If the BOOTP or DHCP server has been moved to a different domain, the network portion of the
address provided to the client will be based on this new domain.
Example
In the following example, the device is reassigned the same address.
Console(config)#interface vlan 1
Console(config-if)#ip address dhcp
Console(config-if)#exit
Console#ip dhcp restart client
Console#show ip interface
