Dhcp Client On A Management Interface; Ip Address Dhcp - Dell S3048-ON Configuration Manual

To manually configure a static IP address on an interface, use the ip address command. A prompt displays to release an existing
dynamically acquired IP address. If you confirm, the ability to receive a DHCP server-assigned IP address is removed.
To enable acquiring a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server on an interface configured with a static IP address, use the ip address
dhcp command. A prompt displays to confirm the IP address reconfiguration. If you confirm, the statically configured IP address is
released. An error message displays if you enter the release dhcp or renew dhcp commands.
To renew the lease time of the dynamically acquired IP, use the renew dhcp command on an interface already configured with a dynamic
IP address.
NOTE: To verify the currently configured dynamic IP address on an interface, use the show ip dhcp lease command. The
show running-configuration command output only displays ip address dhcp. The currently assigned dynamic IP address
does not display.
To configure and view an interface as a DHCP client to receive an IP address, use the following commands.
1 Enter INTERFACE Configuration mode on an Ethernet interface.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface type slot/port
2 Acquire the IP address for an Ethernet interface from a DHCP network server.

ip address dhcp

Dynamically assigned IP addresses can be released without removing the DHCP client operation on the interface on a switch
configured as a DHCP client.
3 Manually acquire a new IP address from the DHCP server by releasing a dynamically acquired IP address while retaining the DHCP
client configuration on the interface.
EXEC Privilege mode
release dhcp interface type slot/port
4 Acquire a new IP address with renewed lease time from a DHCP server.
EXEC Privilege mode
renew dhcp interface type slot/port
To display DHCP client information, use the following show commands in EXEC Privilege mode.
• To display statistics about DHCP client interfaces, use the show ip dhcp client statistics interface type slot/
port command.
• To clear DHCP client statistics on a specified or on all interfaces, use the clear ip dhcp client statistics {all |
interface type slot/port} command.
• To display dynamic IP address lease information currently assigned to a DHCP client interface, use the show ip dhcp lease
[interface type slot/port] command.
• To display log messages for all DHCP packets sent and received on DHCP client interfaces, use the debug ip dhcp client
packets [interface type slot/port command.
• To display log message on DHCP client interfaces for IP address acquisition, IP address release, IP address and lease time renewal, and
release an IP address, use the [no] debug ip dhcp client events [interface type slot/port] command.

DHCP Client on a Management Interface

These conditions apply when you enable a management interface to operate as a DHCP client.
• The management default route is added with the gateway as the router IP address received in the DHCP ACK packet. It is required to
send and receive traffic to and from other subnets on the external network. The route is added irrespective when the DHCP client and
