This command has no default configuration.

Interface Configuration (Ethernet, VLAN, port-channel) mode

The 

 command allows any interface to dynamically learn its IP 

address by using the DHCP protocol. 

Some DHCP servers require that the DHCPDISCOVER message have a 
specific host name. The 

 

 host-name command is 

most typically used when the host name is provided by the system 
administrator.

If the device is configured to obtain its IP address from a DHCP server, it 
sends a DHCPDISCOVER message to provide information about itself to the 
DHCP server on the network.

If the 

 command is used with or without the optional keyword, 

the DHCP option 12 field (host name option) is included in the DISCOVER 
message. By default, the specified DHCP host name is the globally configured 
host name of the device. However, the 

 host-name 

command can be used to place a different host name in the DHCP option 12 
field.

The 

 command deconfigures any IP address that was 

acquired, thus sending a DHCPRELEASE message. 

The following example acquires an IP address for Ethernet port 1/e16 from DHCP.

The 

Global Configuration mode command defines a default 

gateway ( device). To return to the default configuration, use the no form of this 
command.
