•prefix-length—The number of bits that comprise the IP address prefix. The prefix length must be preceded by a forward slash (/). (Range: 8 -30)

Default Configuration

No IP address is defined for interfaces.

Command Mode

Interface configuration (Ethernet, VLAN, port-channel)

User Guidelines

•An IP address cannot be configured for a range of interfaces (range context).

Example

The following example configures VLAN 1 with the IP address 131.108.1.27 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

Console (config)# interface vlan 1

Console (config-if)# ip address 131.108.1.27 255.255.255.0

ip address dhcp

The ip address dhcp Interface Configuration mode command acquires an IP address on an interface from the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. To deconfigure any acquired address, use the no form of this command.

The no ip address dhcp command deconfigures any IP address that was acquired, thus sending a DHCPRELEASE message.

Syntax

ip address dhcp [hostname host-name]

no ip address dhcp

•hostname—Specifies the host name.(Range: 1 - 20 characters)

•host-name—DHCP host name. This name need not be the same as the host name entered in global configuration mode.

Default Configuration

This command has no default configuration.

Command Mode

Interface configuration (Ethernet, VLAN, port-channel)
