Re: DHCP Manual Release/Renew

From another submission awhile back,

sudo ifconfig en0 down (use en1 for AirPort)
...wait a minute or more
sudo ifconfig en0 up


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
