I have fedora 38 server edition installed.

When the Ethernet cable is connected to my server from a router, the server doesn't get IP address. I have to type commend # dhclient to have my NIC assigned with an IP, so I can connect to the Internet.

After rebooting, the IP is gone and I have to do #dhclient after login again.

Is there a way to setup my server to get an ip automatically from my router? BTW, my router has HDCP on. Thanks.

This seemed to be at the top of a search for -- fedora 38 server edition dhcp

Thanks, but from i understand the link is to setup a HDCP SERVER, but I simply want to get an IP from my router (in this case the HDCP server is the router, which my server connects to).

In other words, I am a client, so I want to get an IP from a HDCP server (the router), not to set up a HDCP server for other clients.

It doesn't work for me.

Why not put the dhclient command into rc.local? Then it will run automatically at boot.

can you give it a static IP?

Fedora uses NetworkManager and the configuration files are /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/

Does your system also have a wifi connection? If so normally NM at least with a desktop installation will automatically switch between wifi and a wired connection but I don't know about a Fedora server install.

Is NetworkManager running?
systemctl status NetworkManager

Post the output of the command
nmcli device status

Either login as root or use sudo depending on how your system is configured.

FYI its DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) not HDCP.

Provided NM is runnimg,
also post the output of
This lists the "connections".
Then, to change a connection to dhcp, use

check out this link: https://computingforgeeks.com/config...cky-almalinux/

type: nmtui

check if network card is activated, or try setting up a static ip check if it works

If it works revert it back to automatic and check if DHCP will work ok

I installed #dnf install NetworkManager-tui-1 on my Fedora 38 server edition. I did numti and in the menu I selected "Automatically connect". After reboot, my server had an ip assigned. It works. Thanks a lot.
