interface, e.g. the default gateway, DNS server IP addresses, etc. To enable the DHCP-client on an IP interface
perform the steps described below.
Mode: context IP
Step
1 node (ctx-ip)[router]#interface name
2 node (if-ip)[ name ]#ipaddress dhcp
3 node (if-ip)[ name ]#show dhcp-client
Note If you are connected to the SmartNode by telnet over the IP interface on
which you enable the DHCP-client, the connection has lost after entering
the command 'ipaddress dhcp'. You need to know the new IP address dis-
tributed from the DHCP-server to connect to the SmartNode again !
Example: Enable DHCP-client on an IP interface
SN(cfg)#context ip
SN(ctx-ip)[router]#interface eth0
SN(if-ip)[eth0]#ipaddress dhcp
SN(if-ip)[eth0]#show dhcp-client
