DHCP Manual Release/Renew

Apology to:
"Raphael Arlitt" <email@hidden>
(whom at first, I did not realize I replied directly to,
and I meant to reply to the list, to get her and other's folks opinion..)

To the list:

I just saw an article go by that mentioned how to get some information from the DHCP daemon. I have not been able to find any information (possibly not looking in the right places..) on how to manually tell OS X to release a DHCP lease, and renew one.

I can sorta do it via the GUI -- go to System Preference, Network, choose manual config, apply, choose DHCP, apply. This sometimes works.

However, is there any method to perform this task with feedback on the CLI?
Anything like the Windows OS commands:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

I already found: ipconfig /all = ifconfig -a

Just curious!

Thanks!

..Greg
