Ive got a 1720 Router connected via E0 to a lovely DSL modem. I configured DHCP client on the relevant interface (IP addr dhcp) and it works fine. Problem is when the ISP changes addresses, the cisco just kinda freaks out, unassigns it's ip address and then nothing.
"fixing" it is nothing more than going on-site, powercycling the modem, and shut/no shut of E0..

Shouldn't it retry to get a DHCP address after some point? Is there anyway to detect this condition(losing its address) and force it to reconnect? Is there any DHCP renew command that I'm just not seeing?


VVVV Will do next time I'm out there. Thanks!
