DHCP client applications
The typical application of DHCP client in the Branch Gateway involves requesting and receiving
an IP address from the service provider’s DHCP server, to enable a broadband Internet
connection via cable modem.

Configuring the DHCP client
Procedure
1. Enter the context of the FastEthernet interface.
For example:
Gxxx-001# interface fastethernet 10/2
Gxxx-001(config-if:FastEthernet 10/2)#
2. Optionally, configure DHCP client parameters.
If you do not configure these parameters, their default values are used:
• Use the ip dhcp client client-id command to set the client identifier
for the DHCP client. By default, the client identifier is usually the MAC address
of the Branch Gateway FastEthernet interface.
• Use the ip dhcp client hostname command to set the hostname for the
DHCP client. By default, the DHCP client uses the Branch Gateway’s
hostname.
