CLI – The following is an example of the CLI commands for defining a default 
gateway:
Configuring DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) assigns dynamic IP addresses to 
devices on a network. DHCP ensures that network devices can have a different IP 
address every time the device connects to the network.
DHCP may lease addresses to clients indefinitely or for a specific period of time. If 
the address expires or the switch is moved to another network segment, you will 
lose management access to the switch. If DHCP is enabled, the IP will not function 
until a reply has been received from the server. Requests will be broadcast 
periodically by the switch for an IP address. 
If your network provides DHCP services, you can configure the switch to be 
dynamically configured by these services. The DHCP Page contains parameters for 
assigning IP addresses to devices.
Command Attributes
• Unit No. — Displays the stacking member for which the DHCP is assigned.
• Interface — Displays the DHCP interface address which is connected to the device. 
• Host Name — Displays the system name.
