Allowing Dhcp To Modify Pctcp.ini; Testing Dhcp Without Reconfiguring The Kernel; Specifying A Lease Time; Unloading The Dhcp Tsr Module - Intermec 6400 User Manual

SECTION 2
" NOTE:
The dhcp command has the format:
dhcp [options] [config file]
For a complete listing of dhcp options, see page 2 58.

Allowing DHCP to Modify PCTCP.INI

To allow DHCP to modify PCTCP.INI, use dhcp with the
-w write option.
Testing DHCP Without Reconfiguring the
Kernel
To test DHCP without reconfiguring the kernel, use dhcp
with the -n option. The -n option prevents dhcp from
loading the DHCP TSR module.

Specifying a Lease Time

To specify a lease time, use dhcp with the -l lease option
and specify the length of time (in seconds) you want to keep
your IP address for the lease.
Without the -l option, the DHCP server determines the length of time
for the lease, based on how the network administrator configured the
server. Although you may use this option, be aware that the server
may ignore it. For this reason, use of the -l option is not
recommended unless the network administrator considers it
necessary.

Unloading the DHCP TSR Module

Use dhcp with the -u option to unload the DHCP TSR
module and to send a message to the server allowing it to
release the IP address. The client discontinues use of that
address, and shuts down any network connections that may
exist.
