DHCP client configuration

The Branch Gateway can be configured to function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol) client.

DHCP client enables the Branch Gateway to receive an IP address from a DHCP server,

according to the DHCP client-server protocol. The DHCP server grants the Branch Gateway

DHCP client an IP address for a fixed amount of time, called the lease. After the lease expires,

the Branch Gateway DHCP client is required to stop using the IP address. The Branch Gateway

DHCP client periodically sends requests to the server to renew or extend the lease.

In addition to receiving an IP address, an Branch Gateway DHCP client can optionally request

to receive a domain name, a list of default routers, and a list of available DNS servers.

Note:

The Branch Gateway can function as both a DHCP server and a DHCP client

simultaneously. That is, you can connect a cable modem for an Internet connection to the

WAN Fast Ethernet in order to use the Branch Gateway as a DHCP client. At the same time,

you can activate the DHCP server on the Branch Gateway for use by clients, such as, IP

phones and PCs connected to the LAN ports. The DHCP server on the Branch Gateway

does not serve Internet devices connected over the WAN Fast Ethernet ports. For

information on configuring the Branch Gateway as a DHCP server, see

DHCP server on

page 447.

Note:

The DHCP client only supports IPv4.
