The DHCPC resource can retrieve the IP address when Abilis is used as DHCP Client.
Add the resource to the Abilis system; the DHCP resource may already exist in the system, but may not yet be active: set it active with the command s act res:dhcp.

COMMAND EXECUTED![[Caution]](../images/caution.png) | Caution |
|---|---|
After adding or setting the DHCPC active, you must restart the Abilis to make the resource running (use the command warm start to reboot the Abilis). |

Refer to Section 83.24.3, “How to activate the DHCP in client mode” to view a further example of configuration.
Configure the DHCPC and IP-2 resources so that Abilis retrieves the IP address from the ADSL router. The first step is to activate the DHCPC resource and then optionally configure the DHCP-SERVER parameter:
[16:43:03] ABILIS_CPX:s p dhcpc dhcp-server:192.168.1.254COMMAND EXECUTED [16:43:33] ABILIS_CPX:d p dhcpcRES:DhcpC - Not Saved (SAVE CONF), Not Refreshed (INIT) ----------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Run DESCR:Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol_Client LOG:DS ACT:YES msg-len:1472 cli-udp-locport:68 srv-udp-remport:67 TOS:0-N DHCP-SERVER:192.168.001.254 DHCP-SERVER-LIST:#
Now IP-2 resource must be configured to use DHCP. Display diagnostics for IP-2 resource helps to view the retrieved IP address:

There are three other parameters which can be used to fit the configuration to needs:
DHCP-GWRetrieve default gateway through DHCP [NO, YES]. Default value is YES.
DHCP-GW-ADAdministrative distance assigned to the default route obtained from a DHCP server [0..255]. Default value is 0.
DHCP-DNSRetrieve primary and secondary DNS server through DHCP [NO, YES]. Default value is YES.
For example, configure IP-2 resource in the following way to retrieve only IP address and default gateway:

This command reports the current situation of the DHCPC resource:
[14:27:55] ABILIS_CPX:d d dhcpc
RES:DhcpC ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol_Client
STATE:READY NUM-CLIENTS:7The meaning:
STATECurrent DHCP client state:
DOWN - State set when registration
to lower UDP port fail, better said when the "use" of UDP
service is not possible.
INACTIVE - The driver is "ready" to
work (no errors with UDP service), but inactive
(configuration parameter
ACT:NO).
READY - The driver is fully ready
to work.
NUM-CLIENTSNumber of available clients. Corresponds to the number of configured IP resources.
This command can help to understand what is happening, in case of troubles:
