I know that there is an option for network-manager to get only the addres from DHCP but I think there's nothing for what you want.I'm not sure what you want to do. Do you have changing DNS servers and gateways?If you have control over the DHCP server you could do that by static DHCP (your pc gets the same address every time based on the MAC address).
Sometimes we need to manually configure the IP address on our computer. You should done this when the network cannot provide you an automatic IP address configuration.
I have only One dhcp server which has only one interface with ip address 10.0.0.1/24.
The network was fine yesterday and as far as I know nothing has been changed or added. This morning some computers are connected to our domain but most of them are reporting limited connectivity. On checking our DHCP server we are getting this message.
Cannot find the DHCP Server:
The DHCP server you specified cannot be located.
I have a Huwawei modem and a TP Link access point, I did the setup everything works, the TP Link is using the DHCP of the modem.
I took down my DHCP server to change some stuff, and after bringing it back up (down for 15 mins or so), I noticed that four other Ubuntu 12.04 servers set to use DHCP were unreachable. Running ifconfig on them returned just lo, so the eth0 and eth1 had been disabled.
I'm assuming the DHCP server missing caused them to shutdown the interface?
I have been running a file server on Ubuntu for a couple of years now. Recently I had to take the network down. When I brought it back up, my server lost its ip address from the router.
I can't remember how to put it back in the dhcp mode. I know that running a server in the dhcp mode isn't optimal, but my router won't allow me to assign static ip addresses.
I'm trying to configure DHCP server on CentOS 6.2.
I have only one DHCP server and one client PC on the network.
I need to configure reserved IP address for my client PC (for PXE boot).
The DHCP server configuration is listed below:
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
ddns-update-style none; ddns-updates off;
allow booting;
# define rules to identify DHCP Requests from PXE and Etherboot
In the LXC config file we can specify an IP address for a container:
lxc.network.type=veth
lxc.network.link=br0
lxc.network.ipv4 = 10.1.0.35/16
lxc.network.flags=up
lxc.network.hwaddr= 00:16:3e:24:26:33
But if the container has the default configuration of DHCP, what's going to happen:
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Does LXC act as a DHCP server for the conta
