On Azure (and probably other VM environments), there is a desire to cause guest VM to renew DHCP lease in response to host infrastructure changes. These include things like spinning up lots of VM's then suspending them and later unfreezing them as needed. The other scenario is doing renew following migration.
The current kernel code has a hack to try and simulate link bounce, but it doesn't work very well and the old ISC DHCP client does nothing. Network manager might be able to do something better?? _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
