Abstract
A client device obtains an Internet Protocol (IP) address in response to completion of an authentication protocol process. The IP address can be provided in accordance with, for example, the dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP). The authentication protocol can be, for example, that which is defined by the IEEE 802.1x standard. When a client device detects completion of the 802.1x authentication process, it issues a DHCP request to the network.
