Force DHCP Client to Renew IP Address - Perform it now
This article covers how to force DHCP client to renew IP address. You need to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Client i.e., dhclient command.
The client normally doesn't release the current lease as it is not required by the DHCP protocol. Some cable ISPs require their clients to notify the server if they wish to release an assigned IP address.
The dhclient command, provides a means for configuring one or more network interfaces using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, BOOTP protocol, or if these protocols fail, by statically assigning an address.
Linux renew ip command using dhcp:
The -r flag explicitly releases the current lease, and once the lease has been released, the client exits.
For example, open terminal application and type the command:
$ sudo dhclient -r
Now obtain fresh IP address using DHCP on Linux:
$ sudo dhclient
To start DHCP client in Linux:
1. To start the DHCP service, type the following command: # /etc/init.d/dhcp start.
2. To stop the DHCP service, type the following command: # /etc/init.d/dhcp stop.
The DHCP daemon stops until it is manually started again, or the system reboots.
