Command Reference Guide Ethernet Interface Configuration Command Set

Functional Notes

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows interfaces to acquire a dynamically assigned IP

address from a configured DHCP server on the network. Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) r equire

the use of DHCP when connecting to their service s. Using DHCP reduces the number of dedicated IP

addresses the ISP must obtain. Consult your ISP to determine the proper values for the client-id and

host-name fields.

Usage Examples

The following example enables DHCP operation on Ethernet interface 0/1:

(config)#interface eth 0/1

(config-eth 0/1)#ip addres s dhcp
