[TriLUG] ipconfig command for Linux

[Dave Schwartzburg]

Sorry,

Didn't notice you were asking about DHCP.  I believe the default DHCP 
client for RH is dhcpdc.  You could use that to release and renew your 
IP lease from the DHCP server.

Also the "equivalent" of ipconfig in Linux is /sbin/ifconfig.  However 
you can do more with ifconfig.
