interface, e.g. the default gateway, DNS server IP addresses, etc. To enable the DHCP-client on an IP interface perform the steps described below.

Mode: context IP

Step	Command	Purpose
1	node(ctx-ip)[router]#interface name	Creates an IP interface with name name and enters
		‘configure’ configuration mode
2	node(if-ip)[name]#ipaddress dhcp	Enables the DHCP-client on this IP interface. (See
		note)
3	node(if-ip)[name]#show dhcp-client	Displays status information about the DHCP-client
		For example, default gateway, lease expire time,
		etc.

Note If you are connected to the SmartNode by Telnet over the IP interface on which you enable the DHCP-client, the connection is lost after entering the command ipaddress dhcp. You need to know the new IP address distrib- uted from the DHCP-server to connect to the SmartNode again!

Example: Enable DHCP-client on an IP interface

node(cfg)#context ip node(ctx-ip)[router]#interface eth0 node(if-ip)[eth0]#ipaddress dhcp node(if-ip)[eth0]#show dhcp-client
