IP Address Commands
Intel® Blade Server Ethernet Switch Modules SBCEGBESW1 and SBCEGBESW10 CLI Guide 123
If the device is configured to obtain its IP address from a DHCP server, it sends a
DHCPDISCOVER message to provide information about itself to the DHCP server on the
network.
If the
ip address dhcp command is used with or without the optional keyword, the DHCP
option 12 field (host name option) is included in the DISCOVER message. By default, the
specified DHCP host name is the globally configured host name of the device. However,
the
ip address dhcp hostname host-name command can be used to place a different host
name in the DHCP option 12 field.
The
no ip address dhcp command deconfigures any IP address that was acquired, and
sends a DHCPRELEASE message.

The following example acquires an IP address for Ethernet port 16 from DHCP..
