824 CHAPTER 59: DHCP CLIENT CONFIGURATION
n
■ An interface can be configured to acquire an IP address in multiple ways, but
these ways are exclusive. The latest configuration will overwrite the previous
configuration.
■ After the DHCP client is enabled on an interface, no secondary IP address is
configurable for the interface.
■ If the IP address assigned by the DHCP server shares a network segment with
the IP addresses of other interfaces on the device, the DHCP client enabled
interface will not request any IP address of the DHCP server unless the
conflicted IP address is manually deleted and the interface is made UP again by
first executing the shutdown command and then the undo shutdown
command or the DHCP client is enabled on the interface by executing the
undo ip address dhcp-alloc and ip address dhcp-alloc commands in
sequence.

On a LAN, Switch B contacts the DHCP server via VLAN-interface 1 to obtain an IP
address.

See Figure 246.
Configuration procedure
The following is the configuration on Switch B shown in Figure 246.
# Enable the DHCP client on VLAN-interface 1.

To implement the DHCP client-server model, you need to perform related
configuration on the DHCP server. For details, refer to “DHCP Server Configuration
Examples” on page 809.
