| Fixed In Version: | dhcp-4.1.1-20.P1.el6 | Doc Type: | Bug Fix |
| Doc Text: |
If the system was rebooted when the network switch was inoperative, the network connection would recover successfully, although it was no longer configured to use DHCP even if the dhclient utility had been running in persistent mode. With this update, the dhclient-script file has been amended to refresh the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) table and the routing table instead of bringing the interface down, which fixes the bug.
