DHCP Client on a VLAN<br />

The following conditions apply on a VLAN that operates as a DHCP client:<br />

• The default VLAN 1 with all ports auto-configured as members is the only L3 interface on the<br />

Aggregator.<br />

• When the default management VLAN has a DHCP-assigned address and you reconfigure the default<br />

VLAN ID number, the Aggregator:<br />

• Sends a DHCP release to the DHCP server to release the IP address.<br />

• Sends a DHCP request to obtain a new IP address. The IP address assigned by the DHCP server is<br />

used for the new default management VLAN.<br />

DHCP Client Operation with Stacking<br />

The DHCP client daemon runs only on the master unit and handles all DHCP packet transactions. The<br />

DHCP client running on the master unit periodically synchronizes the lease file with the standby unit.<br />

When a stack failover occurs, the new master requests the same DHCP server-assigned IP address on<br />

DHCP client interfaces. On non-bound interfaces, the new master re-initiates a DHCP packet transaction<br />

by sending a DHCP discovery packet.<br />
