Renewing DHCP Lease on DSM (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

When setting up a DS923+, I added a reservation for IP address to my router. So I was wondering if there is a way to get DSM to pick up the new (and henceforth static) IP address quicker than waiting for the current one to expire (which would take about 22 more hours). On Windows/Mac there's an option to renew/refresh DHCP in network settings. Is there an equivalent thing I can do on the NAS? If not, I guess I can just wait around for it to get refreshed.

Unplug the network cable and plug it back in?

this didn't work for me unfortunately, it had ended up going back to the same ip it had

Set the unit to static temporarily using the new reservation address you made then toggle DHCP back on, which should now refresh your address.

thanks for this! it worked. and come to think of it, i remember having to do something similar to refresh the ip on a raspberry pi a while back
