C613-50105-01 REV C Command Reference for x210 Series 1277
AlliedWare Plus™ Operating System - Version 5.4.6-1.x
DYNAMIC HOST CONFIGURATION PROTOCOL (DHCP) COMMANDS
IP
ADDRESS DHCP
ip address dhcp
Overview This command activates the DHCP client on the interface you are configuring. This
allows the interface to use the DHCP client to obtain its IP configuration details
from a DHCP server on its connected network.
The client-id and hostname parameters are identifiers that you may want to set in
order to interoperate with your existing DHCP infrastructure. If neither option is
needed, then the DHCP server uses the MAC address field of the request to identify
the host.
The DHCP client supports the following IP configuration options:
• Option 1 - the subnet mask for your device.
• Option 3 - a list of default routers.
• Option 51 - lease expiration time.
The no variant of this command stops the interface from obtaining IP
configuration details from a DHCP server.
Syntax
ip address dhcp [client-id <interface>] [hostname <hostname>]
no ip address dhcp

Examples To set the interface vlan10 to use DHCP to obtain an IP address, use the commands:

awplus(config)# interface vlan10
awplus(config-if)# ip address dhcp
To stop the interface vlan10 from using DHCP to obtain its IP address, use the
commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface vlan10
awplus(config-if)# no ip address dhcp
