Release and Renew iP in Suse Linux 9.1

[aznluvsmc]

Does anyone know what the command is if any to renew an IP address?

If you have one ethernet-card, it's eth0, and you may use:

ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 192.168.222.111 up

if it's card 2, you use eth1 instead.
for other devices it might be similar.
Or not.

If you are looking to renew a dynamic IP, I use 'pump' on one of my systems, and 'dhclient' on my Debian system. Not sure what Suse's tool for it is. You could also try restarting the networking init script (eg, /etc/init.d/networking restart)

if you are using dhpc then do not specify the ip in the ifconfig eth0 up from above.

If you have dhcp set in the config files then type
ifconfig eth0 up

or you can use pump or dhclient.
