Configure Dynamic IPv4 and/or IPv6 Addresses via DHCP

You can always go back from static IPv4/IPv6 addresses to using a DHCP server for dynamic IP addresses. Proceed as follows:

1. Open the Terminal UI. The Status overview will be displayed.

2. Use the arrow and ENTER keys to navigate to the Network Settings.

3. Navigate to the desired IP protocol, that is, IPv4 or IPv6.

4. Activate the option Obtain IPv4 (or IPv6) from DHCP Server.

5. Confirm your changes with < Save changes >.
   The network will then be reconfigured. This process takes about 30 seconds.
