centos network-script dhcp

centos network-script dhcp

I was required to set the mode of networking for Centos as DHCP.

The following links gave the solution

Open the file at /etc/sysconfig/network

NETWORKING=yes

Save the file and exit

Then Open the file at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE=eth0 

BOOTPROTO=dhcp

ONBOOT=yes 

Save the file and exit

Now restart the Networking Service

/etc/init.d/network restart

Now the System would fetch IP Address from a DHCP Server.
