DHCP Clients
A DHCP client is a network device using DHCP service to obtain network cofiguration parameters such as an
IP address from a DHCP server. When a DHCP client sends a broadcast message to locate a DHCP server,
the DHCP server provides configuration parameters (IP address, MAC address, domain name, and a lease
for the IP address) to the client.
Physical Adapter DHCP Client
Enabling a DHCP IPv4 address allows the device to automatically acquire an IPv4 address for a specific
physical adapter from a DHCP server. The physical adapter is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server
for a predefined lease time.
Note
For details on obtaining a DHCP provided IP address, see Configuring IPv4 Settings .
