Verbose information about DHCP

What command or utility would I use to get verbose information about DHCP on a workstation? Essentially I am looking for the Linux equivalent of Microsoft's ipconfig /all. Thanks.

ifconfig ethx
x being the interface (0 is the first, 1 is the 2nd, and so on)

If you want all of the interfaces, ifconfig with no parameters will do that.
It will not give you dns servers, hostname, domain name, as they are not stored in this configuration.

You probably want to look at /var/run/dhclient.ifacename.leases
