Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Client

This chapter describes the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client commands.

DHCP is used to configure devices that are connected to a network so they can communicate on that network using the Internet Protocol (IP). DHCP is implemented in a client-server model where DHCP clients request configuration data, such as an IP address, a default route, or DNS server addresses from a DHCP server.

This chapter contains these commands.
