Note

Note

This procedure does not apply to VSP 8600 Series.

Use this task to configure the DHCP Client to obtain an IPv4 address for the Management Instance VLAN interface or Out-of-Band interface.

Procedure

    enable

    configure terminal

  2. Enable and configure the DHCP Client for a management interface:

    mgmt dhcp-client {cycle | oob | vlan}

  3. Disable and clear the DHCP Client configuration for a management interface:

    no mgmt dhcp-client

Example

The following example configures the DHCP Client to cycle IPv4 requests for the management OOB interface, and then the In-Band management VLAN interface; priority is given to the OOB interface. The system cycles attempts until one management interface receives an IP address from the DHCP server:

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch:1(config)#mgmt dhcp-client cycle
