If either of these conditions is true, the fa0 interface obtains an IP address, and you can manage the switch through the fa0 interface.

consists of two components: one for delivering configuration parameters from a DHCP server to a device

and a mechanism for allocating network addresses to devices. DHCP is built on a client-server model,

in which designated DHCP servers allocate network addresses and deliver configuration parameters to

dynamically configured devices. The switch can act as both a DHCP client and a DHCP server.

During DHCP-based autoconfiguration, your switch (DHCP client) is automatically configured at

With DHCP-based autoconfiguration, no DHCP client-side configuration is needed on your switch.

However, you need to configure the DHCP server for various lease options associated with IP addresses.

If you are using DHCP to relay the configuration file location on the network, you might also need to

configure a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server and a Domain Name System (DNS) server.

The DHCP server for your switch can be on the same LAN or on a different LAN than the switch. If the

DHCP server is running on a different LAN, you should configure a DHCP relay device between your

switch and the DHCP server. A relay device forwards broadcast traffic between two directly connected

LANs. A router does not forward broadcast packets, but it forwards packets based on the destination IP
