Change host IP from static to DHCP

Hi,

I need to change my vsphere 4.1 host from a static IP address to DHCP. When I use the command esxcfg-vswif -i DHCP vswif0 i get an error saying "unable to immediately obtain a dynamic address for this interface"

Is there any guide on how to change back to DHCP as there is loads of info on how to change to static available.

I think you need first restart your Management Network before you can renew for DHCP
