Find the SNIP address from the DHCP server
Look in the dhcpd.leases file for the last entry with the sysid of your appliance in the uid or client-
hostname field.
Example
:
The following entry in a DHCP server’s dhcpd.leases file verifies the binding state of the appliance
whose sysid is 45eae1a8157e89b9314f.

The following table describes DHCP-related CLI commands that you might want to use when config-
uring a new Citrix ADC appliance.
Table 2. Citrix ADC CLI commands for using DHCP with a new Citrix ADC appliance
Task
At the Citrix ADC command prompt, type:
To verify the DHCP fetched details, such as IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway on the
appliance
> sh dhcpParams
To release the DHCP IP address and return it to
the IP address pool on the DHCP server when
the Citrix ADC configuration is complete
> release dhcpIP
Using DHCP when a configuration file is present
If you need to move a Citrix ADC appliance to a different subnet, such as from a testing environment
to a production environment, you can use DHCP to access an appliance that already has a configura-
tion file. Before moving the appliance, enable its DHCP client and save the configuration. As a result,
when the appliance restarts, it automatically polls the DHCP server for an IP address. If you did not en-
