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 1:
(config)#interface bvi 1
(config-bvi 1)#ip address dhcp
60000CRG0-35E
Optional. Attaches a network monitoring track to the DHCP client. The
DHCP gateway route for this client will only reside in the route table while
the track is in the pass state. For more information on configuring track
objects, refer to
track <name> on page
By default, the administrative distance value is 1.
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 on page 3052
types), and the MAC ADDRESS is the medium 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.
