Hello, Warner. You wrote 22 =D0=B0=D0=B2=D0=B3=D1=83=D1=81=D1=82=D0=B0 2012 =D0=B3., 0:04:= 41: >> BTW, typical MIPS SoC-based router has only 16MiB of flash.

But My ISP wants lease renewal every 10800 second (3 hours). Do I need to add cron task if I don't want to run dhclient as a daemon on router?

IMHO, OpenBSD way, when dhclient renew lease after down/up cycle by itself, is much better. --=20 // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>
