This simple guide will show you how to install dhclient command on Oracle Linux. Have you installed Oracle Linux system and trying to configure automatic IP addresses via DHCP using dhclient<\/a> command? Well, unlike the CentOS\/RHEL\/Rocky Linux systems, the dhclient command is not installed by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our environment, we have Oracle Linux 9 installed on a VirtualBox. You can check the guide below on how to install Oracle Linux 9 on VirtualBox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As already mentioned, dhclient command is not installed by default on Oracle Linux system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, first of all, what package provides the dhclient command? This can be checked using the command below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo dnf provides dhclient<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Sample output;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
dhcp-client-12:4.4.2-15.b1.el9.x86_64 : Provides the ISC DHCP client daemon and dhclient-script\nRepo        : @System\nMatched from:\nProvide    : dhclient = 12:4.4.2-15.b1.el9\n\ndhcp-client-12:4.4.2-15.b1.el9.x86_64 : Provides the ISC DHCP client daemon and dhclient-script\nRepo        : ol9_baseos_latest\nMatched from:\nProvide    : dhclient = 12:4.4.2-15.b1.el9<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
From the output above, you can see that dhclient command is provided by the package called dhcp-client<\/code><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can install dhclient using the DNF\/YUM package manager by <\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo yum install dhcp-client<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Or<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo dnf install dhcp-client<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Or via the dhclient<\/strong> virtual package;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo dnf install dhclient<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
It is also possible to install automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you run;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo dhclient<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
If the command is not installed, the system will prompt you to install.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also check the version;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
dhclient --version<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
You can then after installing dhclient command on Oracle Linux, use it to configure automatic interface IP address assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, to assign all interfaces DHCP IP addresses, just run;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo dhclient<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
To configure automatic IP address assignment from DHCP server on a specific interface, e.g enp0s8;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo dhclient enp0s8<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
You can also release the DHCP addresses using either -r <\/strong><\/code>or -x<\/strong><\/code> option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo dhclient [-r|-x]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Or<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo dhclient [-r|-x] INTERFACE<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
And that is all on installing dhclient command on Oracle Linux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
