When you upgrade the Dell EMC Networking OS from an earlier version to 9.14.1.3 or later, the system converts
the DHCP CONFIGURATION host command in the running configuration to the host-address command. If
you downgrade the Dell EMC Networking OS from version 9.14.1.3 or later to an earlier version, any existing
host-address command is deleted from the running configuration. If you want to create manual DHCP
bindings, use the
host command.

Usage Information You must be in INTERFACE mode in order to configure an interface to dynamically acquire an IP address from a
DHCP server.
Use the no ip address dhcp in INTERFACE mode to:
• Release the IP address that was dynamically acquired from a DHCP server from the interface.
• Disable the DHCP client on the interface so it cannot acquire a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server.
• Stop DHCP packet transactions on the interface.
To release the IP address dynamically acquired from a DHCP server and allow an interface to acquire a new DHCP
server-assigned address, enter the
release dhcp interface type slot/port command in EXEC
Privilege mode. To acquire a new server-assigned IP address, enter the renew dhcp interface type
slot/port command in EXEC Privilege mode or the ip address dhcp command in INTERFACE
Configuration mode.
