testing a dhcp connection
Hi there, I have a computers that has a fixed address : Code:
terminal48:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 172.16.150.151 netmask 255.255.0.0 network 172.16.0.0 broadcast 172.16.255.255 gateway 172.16.100.3 I'd like to switch it to a dhcp address but before editing the file, I need to be sure it will be able to contact the dhcp server. Indeed, I can only remote control the computer (ssh) and have no physical access to it. If I edit the file, restart the networking and if the computer cannot get an dhcp ip address, I permanently loose control over it. Is there a command that can test a dhcp connection without actually modifying the current parameters? Thanks for your help Santiago |
