I applogize, I was thinking of a hyothetical
situation. I am not sure if this ever could occur since I unseasoned in the
Cisco area.
The main reason I wanted to find this out was that
I was thinking in situations where someone's outside link to the Internet in
their office was a Cable or DSL modem. In some of cases I know it is hard to
obtain a static IP address assigned.
Now normally what you could do if from the cable
modem or DSL modem, go to the back of your computer and set the computer to
obtain an address from DHCP. Then I started looking at the PIX506 or 1720 which
seems like a low-end small office box for these type of small business
environments and thought a box like this seems to be geared for these kind sof
situations should be able to use DHCP on a interface---almost like a the Linksys
Cable Modem/DSL Router for home user/networks.
Wouldn't the remote sites need a cisco box at their
site as their default gateway if they wanted to establish VPN sessions back to a
central site?

ethernet interface?
Mickey,
I
don't think there is a way to do this. I am hard pressed to figure out
why you would want to do this. Any static routes (including default
gateway settings on your hosts) you have created to the interface would be
ruined every time the interface picked up a new IP address. This
would especially create havoc on the inside interface of a
PIX.
Please drop me a line if you find out how to do
it. Also, an explanation of what you are trying to do with it would be
appreciated if you have time.

I want an Ethernet interface on a router to get
it's IP address for DHCP. Is this possible? How about on a PIX ethernet
interface?
