Retrieving an IP Address From a DHCP Server
When using the DHCP protocol to retrieve an IP address, the switch acts as a DHCP client.
To retrieve an IP address from a DHCP server, perform the following steps:
1
Select and connect any port to a DHCP server or to a subnet that has a DHCP server on it,
in order to retrieve the IP address.
NOTE:
You do not need to delete the switch configuration to retrieve an IP address for the D HCP server.
2
Enter the following commands to use the selected port for receiving the IP address.
console#config
console(config)#ip address dhcp
The interface receives the IP address automatically.
3
To verify the IP address, enter the show ip interface command at the system prompt as shown
in the following example.
console#show ip interface
