Beginning in Privileged EXEC mode, use the following commands to enable
the DHCP client on the OOB port.

Enabling the DHCP Client on the Default VLAN

Beginning in Privileged EXEC mode, use the following commands to enable
the DHCP client on the default VLAN, which is VLAN 1. As a best practice,
it is reco mmended that a s eparat e VLAN o ther tha n one us ed for c lient t raffic
be used for in-band management of the switch. In general, using VLAN 1, or
any other VLAN carrying client traffic, for in-band management introduces a
security vulnerability.
