Functional Notes
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. Consult your
ISP to determine the proper values for the client-id and hostname fields.
Usage Examples
The following example enables DHCP operation on virtual BVI interface 1:
ProCurve(config)#interface bvi 1
ProCurve(config-bvi 1)#ip address dhcp
The following example enables DHCP operation on virtual BVI interface 1 utilizing hostname ProCurve
and does not allow obtaining a default route, domain name, or nameservers. It also sets the administrative
distance as 5:
ProCurve(config)#interface bvi 1
ProCurve(config-bvi 1)#ip address dhcp hostname "ProCurve" no-default-route no-domain-name
no-nameservers 5

Optional. By default, the client identifier is populated using the following formula:
TYPE: INTERFACE SPECIFIC INFO : MAC ADDRESS
Where TYPE specifies the media type in the form of one hexadecimal byte (refer
to hardware-address <hardware-address> <type>
listing of media types), and the MAC ADDRESS is the Media Access Control
(MAC) address assigned to the first Ethernet interface in the unit in the form of six
hexadecimal bytes. (For units with a single Ethernet interface, the MAC
ADDRESS assigned to Ethernet 0/1 is used in this field).
By default, the host name is the name configured using the Global Configuration
hostname command.
