Releasing and Renewing DHCP-based IP Addresses
On an Aggregator configured as a DHCP client, you can release a dynamically-assigned IP address
without removing the DHCP client operation on the interface.
To manually acquire a new IP address from the DHCP server, use the following command.
• Release a dynamically-acquired IP address while retaining the DHCP client configuration on the
interface.
EXEC Privilege mode
release dhcp interface type slot/port
• Acquire a new IP address with renewed lease time from a DHCP server.
EXEC Privilege mode
renew dhcp interface type slot/port

EXEC Privilege

• Display lease information about the dynamic IP address currently assigned to a DHCP client interface.
