[NTLUG:Discuss] dhcpcd guestion

[jeremyb@univista.com]

I think RH 7.2 still has the ifup and ifdown scripts.   Use those.

   #> ifdown eth0 
   #> ifup eth0

If that doesn't get it then you can always do:

   #> /etc/init.d/network restart

But,  that'll bring all interfaces down for a few seconds.

delete the /etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-<INTERFACE>.* then either HUP the dhcpcd or
(in my case) remove and readd the card (used for my wireless) :^)

there are probably command line options, but this is the way I force it when
necessary.
