I am trying to modify management interfaces of a demo equipment to be set to DHCP but so far i did not see a way how to do it .
In loader i know there is a way to force auto EX : ifconfig e0M -auto ( but i did not test it for some years now ) .
PS : service processor have dhcp settings for ex .
#Is there a way to set DHCP on management ip's ( node and cluster ip ) ?

It only works in loader and for SP. You really don't want your IPs to randomly change when the lease expires

yes i know but there are firms that use WW ip distributions via DHCP 🙂 for management ip's ( i really dont understand why they do this ) but i found out they do and they are not small at all .

You may need to create a new lif. Something like this (but be warned it may not work for node/cluster mgmt lifs!)
network interface create -vserver clusadmin -lif node-01mgmt -home-node node01 -home-port e0M -auto true -failover-policy broadcast-domain-wide -service-policy default-management -auto-revert true

oh wait that works now? cool!
although "Allocate Link Local IPv4 address" sounds more like a 169.254.x.x (APIPA) address rather than DHCP to me

It might be.
