ip dhcp release
Use the ip dhcp release command to transmit a message to the DHCP server requesting termination of the
IP address lease on that interface.
Caution If you are currently connected to the unit using a Telnet session through the Ethernet
interface, using the ip dhcp release command will terminate your Telnet session and
render your Telnet capability inoperable until a new IP address is assigned by the
DHCP server.
Syntax Description
No subcommands.
Default Values
No defaults necessary for this command.
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) require
the use of DHCP when connecting to their services. Using DHCP reduces the number of dedicated IP
addresses the ISP must obtain.
Usage Examples
The following example releases the IP address assigned (by DHCP) on the Ethernet interface (eth 0/1):
ProCurve(config)#int eth 0/1
ProCurve(config-eth 0/1)#ip dhcp release
