settings from a BOOTP server.
dhcp – Configure the switch to obtain IP

Example Usage:
To configure the switch to be a DHCP client:

DES-7100:4#
* Important Note: The GBIC uplink ports on the DES-7003 CPU module
are currently not compatible with BOOOTP and DHCP client modes. The
Switch can receive BOOTP or DHCP settings instructions through the
Management Port on the Primary Master CPU module. However, since this
port is not intended for routine network traffic and should not be used to
uplink the Switch to the network, it should be connected directly to a non-
networked DHCP or BOOTP server with the function limited to providing
service only to the Switch.
