What is the Dhclient command in Linux?

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.

How do I start Dhclient?

Choose one of the following operations:

  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.
