Usage Guidelines

The dhcp client client-id command configures an identifier for a DHCP client. The identifier is encapsulated into a DHCP Request message. When a DHCP client requests an IP address from a DHCP server, the DHCP server obtains the identifier of the DHCP client and assigns an IP address to the DHCP client with the specified identifier.

Example

# Set the identifier of the DHCP client to huawei_client on VLANIF100.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] interface vlanif 100
[HUAWEI-Vlanif100] dhcp client client-id huawei_client

# Set the identifier of the DHCP client to huawei_client on GE0/0/1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] undo portswitch
