How to Configure a Solaris DHCP Client

This procedure is necessary only if DHCP was not enabled during Solaris installation.

1. Become superuser on the client machine.

2. Unconfigure and shut down the system by typing the following command:

   # sys-unconfig

   See the sys-unconfig(1M) manual page for more information about what configuration information is removed by this command.

3. Reboot the system when the PROM prompt appears.

   ok boot

   You are prompted for system configuration information by sysidtool programs when the system reboots. See the sysidtool(1M) manual page for more information.

4. When prompted to use DHCP to configure network interfaces, specify Yes.
