network interface dhcp

Configure a network interface to use DHCP. Using DHCP will automatically update the SafeNet appliance's system name servers and other network settings that are transmitted via DHCP.

Note:  When DHCP is used, the appliance's IP address may change automatically, which may lead to certificate mismatches and client connection issues.

CAUTION:  Do not specify DHCP if you intend to use network interface port bonding - a change to the leased IP address disrupts port bonding, which must be manually disabled and then reconfigured before it can be re-enabled.

Note:  You cannot configure an interface that is a member of an active bond. You must first disable the bond. See network interface bonding
