The DHCP client functionality is enabled only on the default VLAN and the management interface. A DHCP client is a network device that requests an IP address and configuration parameters from a DHCP server. On an Aggregator, the DHCP client functionality is implemented as follows: • The public out-of-band management (OOB) interface and default VLAN 1 are configured, by default, as a DHCP client to acquire a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server. You can override the DHCP-assigned address on the OOB management interface by manually configuring an IP address using the CLI or CMC interface. If no user-configured IP address exists for the OOB interface exists and if the OOB IP address is not in the startup configuration, the Aggregator will automatically obtain it using DHCP. You can also manually configure an IP address for the VLAN 1 default management interface using the CLI. If no user-configured IP address exists for the default VLAN management interface exists and if the default VLAN IP address is not in the startup configuration, the Aggregator will automatically obtain it using DHCP. • The default VLAN 1 with all ports configured as members is the only L3 interface on the Aggregator. When the default management VLAN has a DHCP-assigned address and you reconfigure the default VLAN ID number, the Aggregator: - Sends a DHCP release to the DHCP server to release the IP address. - Sends a DHCP request to obtain a new IP address. The IP address assigned by the DHCP server is used for the new default management VLAN. How DHCP Client is Implemented The Aggregator is enabled by default to receive DHCP server-assigned dynamic IP addresses on an interface. This setting persists after a switch reboot. If you enter the shutdown command on the interface, DHCP transactions are stopped and the dynamically-acquired IP address is saved. Use the show interface type slot/port command to display the dynamic IP address and DHCP as the mode of IP address assignment. 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. If you later enter the no shutdown command and the lease timer for the dynamic IP address has expired, the IP address is released. When you enter the release dhcp command, although the IP address that was dynamically-acquired from a DHCP server is released from an interface, the ability to acquire a new DHCP server-assigned Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) 63
