Functional Notes

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (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.

Usage Examples

The following example renews the IP address assigned (by DHCP) on the Ethernet interface (eth 0/1):

(config)#int eth 0/1

(config-eth 0/1)#ip dhcp renew
