[ug-atlosug] ug-atlosug Digest, Vol 23, Issue 2

[mike svoboda]

Russ:

Give this a shot.

If you want to have a network interface grab a DHCP assigned address without
a reboot, first figure out what your network interface names are called.
You can do this two ways.

# ifconfig -a plumb

That will plumb all network interfaces available on the machine.  You can
then see what NICs are available with a

# ifconfig -a


Or, you can issue

# dladm show-devs

Either way, once you find out the name of your network interface, you can do
either two of the following  (say it returns e1000g0 as your NIC)

# ifconfig e1000g0 dhcp

That immediately grabs a DHCP assigned address on that network interface
without a reboot.

To make it persistant across reboots, touch the file  /etc/dhcp.<nic>

# touch /etc/dhcp.e1000g0


Good luck!

Mike
