I cannot find the correct command to release and renew a DHCP configured

ifconfig eth1 down and ifconfig eth1 up doesn't seem to do the trick.
What am I missing.

Hi Aaron,

I think what you're looking for is the dhcp client daemon 'dhcpcd'.
Try 'man dhcpcd'

hth & regards,

Carl

You are correct. I found in the man pages dhcpcd -k and dhcpcd -n

Thank you.
