Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To enable an interface of the AP to obtain IP addresses using DHCP, enable the DHCP client function on the interface. A BOOTP client applies for an IP address from the server using DHCP. The DHCP client has two functions:

Sends DHCP Request messages to the server.
Processes DHCP Reply messages from the server.

To obtain an IP address, the DHCP client sends a DHCP Request message to the server. After the server receives the DHCP Request message, it sends a DHCP response message to the DHCP client. The DHCP client obtains the assigned IP address from the response message.

Example

# Enable the DHCP client function on VLANIF100 to obtain an IP address.

<Huawei> system-view
[Huawei] interface vlanif 100
[Huawei-Vlanif100] ip address dhcp-alloc
