method dhcp
description
This method may be used to obtain an address via DHCP with any of
the tools: dhclient, udhcpc, dhcpcd.
(They have been listed in their order of precedence.)
If you have a complicated DHCP setup you should
note that some of these clients use their own configuration files
and do not obtain their configuration information via *ifup*.

metric metric -- Metric for added routes (dhclient)
leasetime leasetime -- Preferred lease time in seconds (dhcpcd)
vendor vendor_id -- Vendor class identifier (dhcpcd)

description
This method uses avahi-autoipd to configure an interface with an
IPv4 Link-Layer address (169.254.0.0/16 family). This method is also
known as APIPA or IPAC, and often colloquially referred to
as "Zeroconf address".
