Configure the VLAN 
interface to obtain IP 
address through DHCP or 
BOOTP 

ip address { bootp-alloc | 
dhcp-alloc } 

Required 

By default, no IP address is 
configured for the VLAN 
interface. 

 

Currently, the device operating as a DHCP client can use an IP address for no more than 24 days; that 

is, it can obtain a lease with 24 days at most even if the DHCP server assigns a lease with more than 24 

days. 

 

As shown in 

, using DHCP, VLAN-interface 1 of Switch A is connected to the LAN to obtain an 

IP address from the DHCP server.

The following describes only the configuration on Switch A serving as a DHCP client.
