Enabling the DHCP Client for a Specific VE Port

The DHCP client can be enabled for a specific Virtual Ethernet (VE) port, either default or non-default. By default, the DHCP client is enabled for the default VE port.
Note: When option 43 is received as “Create Default VE” while running the DHCP client on the VE, a trap and syslog is generated to ignore Option 43.
Note: The DHCP client can be configured for only one specific VE port at a time.
Note: When this feature is enabled, DHCP-based zero touch provisioning will not be functional.
The following task enables the DHCP client for a specified VE port.
  1. Enter global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Enable the DHCP client for a specified VE interface.
    device(config)# ip dhcp-client ve 22

The following example enables the DHCP client for a specified VE port. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# ip dhcp-client ve 22
