ip address dhcp

Last Updated : May 10, 2021 |

Enables IP address negotiation using DHCP. Use no ip address dhcp to disable IP address negotiation using DHCP.

The ip address dhcp command can be used on FastEthernet 10/3 and VLAN interfaces.

You cannot configure both ip address dhcp and keepalive-track (object tracking) on the WAN FastEthernet interface. You cannot configure both ip address dhcp and keepalive-icmp (extended keepalive) on the WAN FastEthernet interface. You cannot configure both ip address dhcp and ip address negotiated (PPP/IPCP address negotiation) on the WAN FastEthernet interface.

You can run ip address dhcp as many times as desired to re-initiate DHCP address negotiation. Whenever you change the value of a DHCP client parameter (such as client-id, client hostname), run ip address dhcp again to re-initiate DHCP address negotiation using the new values.
