You wanted to pass options to your dhcp client. The page mentioned |
| 17 |
shows two ways of doing that: |
| 18 |
1) By setting the variable dhcp_eth0 to a space-delimited string of |
| 19 |
options, like |
| 20 |
dhcp_eth0="release nodns nontp nonis" |
| 21 |
These generic options work for any of the dhclient, dhcpcd, pump and |
| 22 |
udhcpc clients. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
2) By setting ${CLIENTNAME}_eth0 to a space-delimited string of |
| 25 |
options, you can pass any option to your specific client |
| 26 |
If you want to pass the -nw option to the dhclient client for the eth0 |
| 27 |
interface, you would write |
| 28 |
dhclient_eth0="-nw" |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
All this configuration goes in /etc/conf.d/net (at least for |
| 31 |
baselayout 1.12.12; I don't know about baslayout 2.0.0) |
