→Stopping DHCP Client
If you boot to FC8, by default, the system contacts the DHCP server in the Lab and config its ethernet adpator with the assigned TCP/IP parameters. The DHCP client running on FC8 will renew its TCP/IP lease from the server every few minutes. Since we want to change the IP address of the network interface, we must first stop the DHCP client on the machine.
=== Stopping DHCP Client ===
* First, use the su command to get super-user privileges. Use your login password when prompted:
[joker@localhost ~]$ su -
Password:
[root@host-a ~]#
* The name of the DHCP Client on FC8 is called "dhclient". Use the following to find out the process ID of the running dhclient on the system:
[root@host-a ~]# ps -ef | grep dhclient |grep -v grep
