This is a great benefit if you often change networks with your laptop and you do not like to kill/restart dhclient all the time. Changes are automatically detected and the link is refreshed. The change allows us to start dhclient in background mode while the network cable is not plugged in. To control the polling interval, the option -i has been introduced. It takes seconds as parameter, the minimum is one second, the default is five seconds. Polling is done in seconds, not microseconds, because dhclient does internally work with timeouts in seconds. This change will be part of the next major ISC-dhcpd release. Tested by: bms, imp, and many many others. Reviewed by: murray, eivind, dhclient folks |
