If your DHCP server is a Cisco device, or if you are configuring the switch as a DHCP server, refer to
the “IP Addressing and Services” section in the
Cisco IOS IP and IP Routing Configuration Guide for
Cisco IOS Release 12.1
for additional information about configuring DHCP.
About DHCP-Based Autoconfiguration
Note
Beginning with Release 12.2(20)EW, you can enable DHCP AutoConfiguration by entering the
write
erase
command. This command clears the startup-config in NVRAM. In images prior to Release
12.2(20)EW, this command does not enable autoconfiguration.
DHCP provides configuration information to Internet hosts and internetworking devices. This protocol
consists of two components: one component for delivering configuration parameters from a DHCP
server to a device and another component that is a mechanism for allocating network addresses to
devices. DHCP is built on a client-server model, in which designated DHCP servers allocate network
addresses and deliver configuration parameters to dynamically configured devices. The switch can act
as both a DHCP client and a DHCP server.
With DHCP-based autoconfiguration, no DHCP client-side configuration is needed on your switch
because your switch (the DHCP client) is automatically configured at startup with IP address
information and a configuration file. However, you need to configure the DHCP server or the DHCP
server feature on your switch for various lease options associated with IP addresses. If you are using
DHCP to relay the configuration file location on the network, you might also need to configure a Trivial
File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server and a Domain Name System (DNS) server.
DHCP-based autoconfiguration replaces the BOOTP client functionality on your switch.
