• If the address is not in use, MSS configures the VLAN that has the DHCP client
enabled with the IP address received from the DHCP server. MSS then configures
the other values as follows:

• If the address offered by the DHCP server is already in use, MSS sends a DHCP
Decline message to the server and generates a log message.
• If the address is in a subnet that is already configured on another VLAN on the
switch, MSS sends a DHCP Decline message to the server and generates a log
message.
If the switch is powered down or restarted, MSS does not retain the values received from
the DHCP server. However, if the IP interface goes down but MSS is still running, MSS
attempts to reuse the address when the interface comes back up.
Configuring the DHCP Client
To configure the DHCP client on a VLAN, use the following command:
set interface vlan-id ip dhcp-client {enable | disable}
The vlan-id can be the VLAN name or number.
The following command enables the DHCP client on VLAN corpvlan:
DWS-1008# set interface corpvlan ip dhcp-client enable
success: change accepted.
You can configure the DHCP client on more than one VLAN, but the client can be active on
only one VLAN.
To remove all IP information from a VLAN, including the DHCP client and user-configured
DHCP server, use the following command:
clear interface vlan-id ip

• Default gateway - MSS adds a default route for the gateway, with a
of 10.
• DNS domain name and DNS server IP address - If the default domain
name and DNS server IP address are already configured on the switch,
and DNS is enabled, the configured values are used. Otherwise, the
values received from the DHCP server are used.
