MAC addresses for Ethernet/802.3 clients are stored in the canonical (byte starts with least significant bit) format. MAC addresses for Token-Ring clients are stored in the non-canonical (byte starts with most significant bit) format. This parameter should be used when the DHCP server is on one media type (Token-Ring or Ethernet/802.3), the client is on the other media type and there is a translational bridge between the two. When this parameter is set to yes, the DHCP server will cause the client's MAC address to be flipped from either canonical to non-canoncial or non-canonical to canonical. Since the DHCP server does not know which format the MAC address is originally in, setting this parameter to yes will just flip the address. Canonical can be set within the global, subnet, class or client scope.

This section describes dynamic reconfiguration (DR) as it affects Talk 6 and Talk 5 commands.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) does not support the CONFIG (Talk 6) delete interface command.
The GWCON (Talk 5) activate interface command is not applicable for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP configuration is not based upon specific interfaces.
The GWCON (Talk 5) reset interface command is not applicable for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP configuration is not based upon specific interfaces.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) supports the following Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)-specific GWCON (Talk 5) reset commands:
The following table summarizes the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) configuration changes that are activated when the GWCON, feature
DHCP, reset dhcp command is invoked:
| Commands whose changes are activated by the GWCON, feature DHCP, reset dhcp command |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, add class |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, add client |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, add option |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, add subnet |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, add vendor-option |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, change class |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, change client |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, change subnet |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, change vendor-option |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, delete class |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, delete client |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, delete option |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, delete subnet |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, delete subnet-group |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, delete vendor-option |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, disable dhcp-server |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, enable dhcp-server |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, set balance |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, set bootstrapserver |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, set canonical |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, set inorder |
| CONFIG, feature DHCP, set lease-expire-interval |

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) supports the following GWCON
commands that temporarily change the operational state of the device.
These changes are lost whenever the device is reloaded, restarted, or you
execute any dynamically reconfigurable command.
| Commands |
| GWCON, feature DHCP, disable dhcp |
| GWCON, feature DHCP, enable dhcp |
All Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) configuration parameters can be changed dynamically.
