Hi Folks,
I noticed that 12.1 seems to have changed DHCP behavior where a new lease is not requested when the network interface is brought up. This manifests itself when an Ethernet cable is moved from one network to another. The DHCP-obtained parameters, including IP address, netmask and default gateway, "stick". The configuration persists through reboots and manually bouncing the network. Yesterday the only way I could get it to reset was to remove the lease files in /var/lib/dhcpd, then bounce the network.
On a reboot dhcpcd has to be started, so check to see what is happening at that point.
This behavior is new to 12.1, has anyone else noticed it? How can we tell the DHCP client to re-obtain a lease when its interface is brought up? This behavior noticed on more than one install of x86-64.
I have just checked the dhcp behaviour on my 12.1 laptop - nothing unusual, works just like before. (grep dhcp /var/log/messages). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
