IP DHCP ENABLE
Syntax
ip dhcp enable
Parameters
None.
Privilege Levels
Administrator and read-write.
Description
This command is used to activate the management module’s DHCP and
BOOTP clients so as to obtain an IP address configuration from a DHCP
or BOOTP server on your network. For background information on when to
assign the management module an IP address, refer to “Overview” on
page 48.
When the clients are activated, the management module queries first for a
DHCP server. If it receives a response, it applies the IP address
configuration from the server to its IP parameters, and stops querying the
network. If there is no response after seven attempts, the management
module queries for a BOOTP server. If there is again no response, the
management module stops its query efforts.
The default setting for the DHCP and BOOTP clients is disabled.
Note
If an IP address was manually assigned to the module, it is
overwritten by the values from the DHCP or BOOTP server.
The management module must communicate with a DHCP or BOOTP
server through its 10/100/1000Base-T Management port. The module
cannot communicate with your network through the ports on the media
converter modules in the chassis.
Example
ip dhcp enable
