Dell MXL 10GbE - Other Commands Supported by the DHCP Client

interface type slot/port command. If you later enter the no shutdown]
command and the lease timer for the dynamic IP address has expired, the IP
address is unconfigured and the interface tries to acquire a new dynamic address
from DHCP server.
You cannot configure a secondary (backup) IP address on an interface using the ip
address dhcp
command; you must use the ip address command at the
interface configuration level.
To release a DHCP-assigned IP address and remove the interface from being a
DHCP client, use the no ip address dhcp command. When you use the no ip
address dhcp
command:
• The IP address dynamically acquired from a DHCP server is released from the
interface.
• The DHCP client is disabled on the interface; it can no longer acquire a
dynamic IP address from a DHCP server.
• DHCP packet transactions on the interface are stopped.
To display the currently configure dynamic IP address and lease time, use the show
ip dhcp lease command.
