Chapter 14: IPv4 and IPv6 Management Address Commands
318
IP ADDRESS DHCP
Syntax
ip address dhcp
Parameters
None
Mode
VLAN Interface mode
Description
Use this command to assign the switch an IPv4 management address
from a DHCP server. This command activates the DHCP client, which
automatically queries the network for a DHCP server. The client also
queries for a DHCP server whenever you reset or power cycle the switch.
You must perform this command from the VLAN Interface mode of the
VLAN to which you want to assign the address.
The switch must have a management IPv4 address to support the
features listed in Table 27 on page 300. The switch can have only one
IPv4 address, and it must be assigned to the VLAN from which the switch
is to communicate with the management devices (such as Telnet
workstations and syslog servers). The VLAN must already exist on the
switch.
To manually assign the switch an IPv4 address, refer to “IP ADDRESS” on
page 316.
Note
You cannot assign the switch a dynamic IPv6 address from a DHCP
server. An IPv6 management address must be assigned manually
with “IPV6 ADDRESS” on page 322.
Confirmation Commands
