Hi I found this information: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/networking_guide/sec-configuring_ip_networking_from_the_kernel_command_line Specifically: Set the configuration using the ip option on the kernel command line: ip<client-IP-number>:[<server-id>]:<gateway-IP-number>:<netmask>:<client-hostname>:<interface>:{dhcp|dhcp6|auto6|on|any|none|off} dhcp - DHCP configuration dhpc6 - DHCP IPv6 configuration auto6 - automatic IPv6 configuration on, any - any protocol available in the kernel (default) none, off - no autoconfiguration, static network configuration For example: ip=192.168.180.120:192.168.180.100:192.168.180.1:255.255.255.0::enp1s0:off but I am confused. I desire to set IP boot values with DHCP and name of machine say jerry. so I would use ip=::::jerry.domain:eth0:dhcp Is this correct ?
