Enabling DHCP

DHCP is enabled by default. If, after setting a static IP, you wish to revert to using a dynamic IP address, enable DHCP as described below.

To enable DHCP

1. Log in as root.
2. In the command line, enter the following command:

   ctera-network-util.sh set_dhcp interface

   Where interface is the name of the machine's interface. To view the interface's name, run the command: ifconfig –a

   For example, to enable DHCP on the interface e1000g0, enter the following command:

   ctera-network-util.sh set_dhcp e1000g0

   CTERA Portal now uses a dynamic IP address.
