In addition to enabling the DHCP client, this command allows you to configure
the settings shown in Table 3-1.
Table 3-1. DHCP Client Settings
Before you enable the DHCP client, you must decide whether or not you want
to configure the settings listed in Table 3-1, 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 default DHCP settings
for Ethernet interface, you can simply enter:
ProCurve(config-eth 0/1)# ip address dhcp
The DHCP client on the Ethernet interface 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
Ethernet interface is activated or a valid Ethernet connection has been estab-
lished. It will continue to send DHCP discovery messages until a DHCP server
responds.
Default Setting
media type and interface's MAC address
router hostname

server

DHCP server
