interface, e.g. the default gateway, DNS server IP addresses, etc. To enable the DHCP-client on an IP interface
perform the steps described below.
Mode: context IP
Note
If you are connected to the SmartNode by Telnet over the IP interface on
which you enable the DHCP-client, the connection is lost after entering the
command
ipaddress dhcp
. You need to know the new IP address distrib-
uted from the DHCP-server to connect to the SmartNode again!
Example:

node(cfg)#context ip
node(ctx-ip)[router]#interface eth0
node(if-ip)[eth0]#ipaddress dhcp
node(if-ip)[eth0]#show dhcp-client
