Default Settings for the DHCP Client
Before you enable the DHCP client, you must decide whether or not you want
to configure the settings listed in Table 7-5, and you must then include the
settings in the same command you enter to enable the DHCP client. After you
enable the DHCP client, it immediately begins to search for a DHCP server
and negotiate a lease. You cannot impose settings on that lease after it is
established.
Accepting the Default Settings. If you want to use all of the default DHCP
settings for ATM subinterface, you can simply enter:
ProCurve(config-atm 1.1)# ip address dhcp
The DHCP client on the ATM subinterface will immediately begin to send
DHCP discovery messages to find a DHCP server. When a DHCP server
responds, the client will negotiate an IP address.
The DHCP client will send DHCP discovery messages whether or not the ATM
subinterface is activated or a valid connection has been established. It will
continue to send DHCP discovery messages until a DHCP server responds.
You should ensure that the DHCP client receives an IP address so that these
requests do not consume router resources or bandwidth on your ADSL link.
To determine if the ATM subinterface has been assigned an IP address, enter:
Default Setting
media type and interface's MAC address
router hostname
accept the default route from the DHCP
server
accept the domain name setting from the
DHCP server
accept DNS settings from the DHCP server
(none)
