Chapter 4 Using PIX Firewall in SOHO Networks
Using the PIX Firewall DHCP Client
Note Do not configure the PIX Firewall with a default route when using the setroute argument
of the ip address dhcp command.
Releasing and Renewing the DHCP Lease
To view current information about the DHCP lease, enter the following command:
show ip address dhcp
To release and renew the DHCP lease from the PIX Firewall, reenter the ip address command, as
follows:
ip address outside dhcp [setroute] [retry retry_cnt]
Replace retry-cnt with the number of times the request should be issued before terminating. To clear the
DHCP default route, use the clear route static command.
Note The clear ip command can be also used to release and renew the DHCP lease, but this clears the
configuration of every PIX Firewall interface.
Monitoring and Debugging the DHCP Client
The following commands provide debugging tools for the DHCP client feature:
• debug dhcpc packet
• debug dhcpc detail
• debug dhcpc error
The PIX Firewall commands used to debug the DHCP client are described in the debug command pages
in the Cisco PIX
Firewall Command Reference. Refer to these command pages for more information.
