How to get the DHCP server address

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

Re: How to get the DHCP server address

I think that you can get that information from:

/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases

dhcp-server-identifier
Por que hacerlo dificil si es posible hacerlo facil? - Why do it the hard way, when you can do it the easy way?
