Parameters 
client-identifier mac interface-type interface-number: Specifies the MAC address of an interface using 
which as the client ID to obtain an IP address. 
Description 
Use the ip address dhcp-alloc command to configure an interface to use DHCP for IP address 
acquisition. 
Use the undo ip address dhcp-alloc command to cancel an interface from using DHCP. 
By default, an interface does not use DHCP for IP address acquisition. 
Note that: 
z  If no parameter is specified, the client uses a character string comprised of the current interface 
name and MAC address as its ID for address acquisition.  
z  The DHCP client sends a DHCP-RELEASE message for releasing the IP address obtained via 
DHCP, if the interface of the client is down, the message cannot be sent. 
z  For a sub interface that obtained an IP address via DHCP, using the shutdown command on its 
primary interface does not make the DHCP client send a DHCP-RELEASE message for releasing 
the sub interface’s IP address. 
Examples 
# Configure VLAN-interface 1 to use DHCP for IP address acquisition.
