The default is -dhcpcd <version>. -If not set then none is sent. -.It Fl k , -release -This causes an existing -.Nm -process running on the -.Ar interface -to release its lease, deconfigure the -.Ar interface -and then exit. -.Nm -then waits until this process has exited. -.It Fl l , -leasetime Ar seconds -Request a specific lease time in -.Ar seconds . -By default -.Nm -does not request any lease time and leaves the it in the hands of the -DHCP server. -.It Fl m , -metric Ar metric -Added routes will use the -.Ar metric -on systems where this is supported -.Po -presently only Linux -.Pc . -Route metrics allow the addition of routes to the same destination across -different interfaces, the lower the metric the more it is preferred. -.It Fl o , -option Ar option -Request the DHCP -.Ar option -variable for use in -.Pa @SCRIPT@ . -.It Fl n , -rebind -Notifies an existing -.Nm -process running on the -.Ar interface -to rebind it's lease. -.Nm -will not re-configure itself or use any other command line arguments. -.Nm -will timeout the rebind after 30 seconds at which point the lease will be -expired and -.Nm -will enter the discovery state to obtain a new lease. -Use the -.Fl t , -timeout -option to change this. -If -.Nm -is not running, then it starts up as normal. -This option used to be renew, but rebind is more accurate as we need to -broadcast the request instead of unicasting. -.It Fl p , -persistent -.Nm -normally deconfigures the -.Ar interface -and configuration when it exits. -Sometimes, this isn't desirable if for example you have root mounted over NFS. -You can use this option to stop this from happening. -.It Fl r , -request Op Ar address -.Nm -normally sends a DHCP DISCOVER to find servers to offer an address. -.Nm -then requests the address used. -You can use this option to skip the BROADCAST step and just request the -.Ar address . -The downside is if you request an -.Ar address -the DHCP server does not know about or the DHCP server is not -authorative, it will remain silent. -In this situation, we go back to the init state and DISCOVER again. -If no -.Ar address -is given then the first address currently assigned to the -.Ar interface -is used. -.It Fl s , -inform Op Ar address Ns Op Ar /cidr -Behaves like -.Fl r , -request -as above, but sends a DHCP INFORM instead of a REQUEST. -This does not get a lease as such, just notifies the DHCP server of the -.Ar address -in use. -You should also include the optional -.Ar cidr -network number in-case the address is not already configured on the interface. -.Nm -remains running and pretends it has an infinite lease. -.Nm -will not de-configure the interface when it exits. -If -.Nm -fails to contact a DHCP server then it returns a failure instead of falling -back on IPv4LL. -.It Fl t , -timeout Ar seconds -Timeout after -.Ar seconds , -instead of the default 30. -A setting of 0 -.Ar seconds -causes -.Nm -to wait forever to get a lease. -.It Fl u , -userclass Ar class -Tags the DHCP message with the userclass -.Ar class . -DHCP servers use this give members of the class DHCP options other than the -default, without having to know things like hardware address or hostname. -.It Fl v , -vendor Ar code , Ns Ar value -Add an enscapulated vendor option. -.Ar code -should be between 1 and 254 inclusive. -Examples. -.Pp -Set the vendor option 01 with an IP address. -.D1 dhcpcd \-v 01,192.168.0.2 eth0 -Set the vendor option 02 with a hex code. -.D1 dhcpcd \-v 02,01:02:03:04:05 eth0 -Do the above and set a third option with a string and not an IP address. -.D1 dhcpcd \-v 01,192.168.0.2 \-v 02,01:02:03:04:05 \-v 03,\e"192.168.0.2\e" eth0 -.It Fl x , -exit -This will signal an existing -.Nm -process running on the -.Ar interface -to deconfigure the -.Ar interface -and exit. -.Nm -then waits until this process has exited. -.It Fl D , -duid -Generate an -.Li RFC 4361 -compliant clientid. -This requires persistent storage and not all DHCP servers work with it so it's -not enabled by default. -.Nm -generates the DUID and stores in it -.Pa @SYSCONFDIR@/dhcpcd.duid -This file should not be copied to other hosts. -.It Fl E , -lastlease -If -.Nm -cannot obtain a lease, then try to use the last lease acquired for the -interface. -If the -.Fl p, -persistent -option is not given then the lease is used if it hasn't expired. -.It Fl F , -fqdn Ar fqdn -Requests that the DHCP server updates DNS using FQDN instead of just a -hostname. -Valid values for -.Ar fqdn -are disable, none, ptr and both. -The current hostname or the hostname specified using the -.Fl h , -hostname -option must be a FQDN. -.Nm -itself never does any DNS updates. -.Nm -encodes the FQDN hostname as specified in -.Li RFC1035 . -.It Fl I , -clientid Ar clientid -Change the default clientid sent from the interface hardware address. -If the string is of the format 01:02:03 then it is encoded as hex. -If not set then none is sent. -.El -.Ss Restriciting behaviour -.Nm -will try to do as much as it can by default. -However, there are sometimes situations where you don't want the things to be -configured exactly how the the DHCP server wants. -Here are some options that deal with turning these bits off. -.Bl -tag -width indent -.It Fl q , -quiet -Quiet -.Nm -on the command line, only warnings and errors will be displayed. -The messages are still logged though. -.It Fl A , -noarp -Don't request or claim the address by ARP. -This also disables IPv4LL. -.It Fl B , -nobackground -Don't run in the background when we acquire a lease. -This is mainly useful for running under the control of another process, such -as a debugger or a network manager. -.It Fl C , -nohook Ar script -Don't run this hook script. -Matches full name, or prefixed with 2 numbers optionally ending with -.Pa .sh . -.Pp -So to stop dhcpcd from touching your DNS or MTU settings you would do:- -.D1 dhcpcd -C resolv.conf -C mtu eth0 -.It Fl G , -nogateway -Don't set any default routes. -.It Fl K , -nolink -Don't receive link messages for carrier status. -You should only have to use this with buggy device drivers or running -.Nm -through a network manager. -.It Fl L , -noipv4ll -Don't use IPv4LL (aka APIPA, aka Bonjour, aka ZeroConf). -.It Fl O , -nooption Ar option -Don't request the specified option. -If no option given, then don't request any options other than those to -configure the interface and routing. -.It Fl Q , -require Ar option -Requires the -.Ar option -to be present in all DHCP messages, otherwise the message is ignored. -.It Fl T, -test -On receipt of OFFER messages just call -.Pa @SCRIPT@ -with the reason of TEST which echo's the DHCP variables found in the message -to the console. -The interface configuration isn't touched and neither are any configuration -files. -.It Fl V, -variables -Display a list of option codes and the associated variable for use in -.Xr dhcpcd-run-hooks 8 . -.It Fl X, -blacklist Ar address -Ignores all DHCP messages which have this -.Ar address -as the server ID. -This may be expanded in future releases to ignore all packets -matching either the IP or hardware -.Ar address . -.El -.Sh NOTES -.Nm -requires a Berkley Packet Filter, or BPF device on BSD based systems and a -Linux Socket Filter, or LPF device on Linux based systems. -.Sh FILES -.Bl -ohang -.It Pa @SYSCONFDIR@/dhcpcd.conf -Configuration file for dhcpcd. -If you always use the same options, put them here. -.It Pa @SYSCONFDIR@/dhcpcd.duid -Text file that holds the DUID used to identify the host. -.It Pa @SCRIPT@ -Bourne shell script that is run to configure or deconfigure an interface. -.It Pa @HOOKDIR@ -A directory containing bourne shell scripts that are run by the above script. -Each script can be disabled by using the -.Fl C , -nohook -option described above. -.It Pa @DBDIR@/dhcpcd\- Ns Ar interface Ns .lease -The actual DHCP message send by the server.
