DHCP

IPv4 DHCP client, server, or relay behavior for this interface.

Only one DHCP mode can be active for the interface. DHCP server and relay modes require a static IPv4 address so the service has a local network to operate on.

  • DHCP client - Request IPv4 network settings from an upstream DHCP server.
  • DHCP server - Provide IPv4 DHCP leases to clients on this interface.
  • DHCP relay - Relay IPv4 DHCP requests to an upstream DHCP server.
