more ipconfig to ifconfig

[ant2ne]

What is the linux (ubuntu) equivalent of "ipconfig /release" and then "ipconfig /renew" I would like to create a quick script to release and renew the IP.

See the documentation of iwconfig and ifconfig with

iwconfig --help

and

ifconfig --help

in terminal.

Release IP address
sudo dhclient -r <interface such as eth0, wlan0, etc>

Renew DNS lease
sudo dhclient <interface>

Did you just read the thread title?

Renew DNS lease

Very helpful!! Just what I needed.
