When configured as a gateway, the EnRoute500 can be set to obtain an obtain an IP address
for its Ethernet interface using DHCP. To enable the DHCP client mode on the Ethernet
interface, set the value of the Ethernet DHCP role parameter to „client‟. When configured as a
DHCP client, the EnRoute500 will continually attempt to contact a DHCP server until it is
successful.
The DHCP reserve parameter (described in section 6.1.1) has no effect when the
DHCP role parameter is set to „client‟.
To disable Ethernet DHCP client mode, set the DHCP role parameter to „none‟. If DHCP client
mode is disabled, the IP configuration must be carried out manually, as described in the next
section.

parameter in the „eth0‟ interface to „client‟, as shown in the example below.
> use eth0
eth0> set dhcp.role=client
