The following is an example for changing the port description on port 1/ xg1 using CLI commands: console(config)#interface ethernet 1/xg1 console(config-if-1/xg1)#description 1000 Retrieving an IP Address From a DHCP Server When using the DHCP protocol to retrieve an IP address, the switch acts as a DHCP client. To retrieve an IP address from a DHCP server, perform the following steps: NOTE: In order to function properly, DHCP cannot not be configured simultaneously on the management and OOB interfaces. 1. Select and connect any port to a DHCP server or to a subnet that has a DHCP server on it, in order to retrieve the IP address. NOTE: You do not need to delete the switch configuration to retrieve an IP address for the DHCP server. 2. Enter the following sets of commands to use the selected port for receiving the IP address. • Assigning Dynamic IP Addresses for the management interface: console#config console(config)#ip address dhcp • Assigning Dynamic IP Addresses for the OOB interface: console#config console(config)#interface out-of-band console(config-if)#ip address dhcp The interface receives the IP address automatically. 3. To verify the IP address, enter the show ip interface or show ip interface out-of-band command at the system prompt as shown in the following examples. console#show ip interface Management Interface: IP Address 10.240.4.125 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway 10.240.4.1 Burned In MAC Address 00:10:18:82:04:35 Network Configuration Protocol Current.........
