ip address dhcp

This command activates the DHCP client on the interface you are configuring. This allows
the interface to use the DHCP client to obtain its IP configuration details from a DHCP
server on its connected network.

The client-id and hostname parameters are identifiers that you may want to set in order
to interoperate with your existing DHCP infrastructure. If neither option is needed, then
the DHCP server uses the MAC address field of the request to identify the host.

The DHCP client supports the following IP configuration options:

■

Option 1 - the subnet mask for your device.

■

Option 3 - a list of default routers.

■

Option 51 - lease expiration time.

The no variant of this command stops the interface from obtaining IP configuration details
from a DHCP server.
