How to get the DHCP server address

Rajesh SB — Mon, 02 Jan 2006 07:24:34 GMT

Hi Experts,

On a Linux machine, what is the command that I can give to get the DHCP server address that allocated the IP address and the IP address lease period.

Any pointers let me know.

Thanks & Regards,
Rajesh

I think that you can get that information from:

/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases

dhcp-server-identifier
