      Setting your ggrock server back to DHCP so that it may get a new IP address

      Grab a copy of these commands before proceeding

      ip a

      cat /etc/network/interfaces

      cat /etc/resolv.conf


      Once that is done, we need to make a backup of the interface file

      cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.SP.bak

      Run this command so the server is staged to DHCP an address the next time it powers on

      cp /etc/network/interfaces.bak/interfaces.bak /etc/network/interfaces



      NOTE: 
      To undo the changes, simply issue the command below which will restore the backup we made

      cp /etc/network/interfaces.SP.bak /etc/network/interfaces

      ADDITIONAL NOTE

      We didn't bounce the networking service, which is why the changes are 'staged' - if we did bounce networking, it'd grab a new address now which is undesirable.
