dhclient - Provides the dhclient ISC DHCP client daemon and dhclient-script.

Description:

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol which allows
individual devices on an IP network to get their own network
configuration information (IP address, subnetmask, broadcast address,
etc.) from a DHCP server. The overall purpose of DHCP is to make it
easier to administer a large network.

To use DHCP on your network, install a DHCP service (or relay agent),
and on clients run a DHCP client daemon.  The dhclient package
provides the ISC DHCP client daemon.

Packages

- dhclient.conf(5), dhclient(8) mention that interface-mtu option
  is also requested by default (RHBZ #694264)
