F21 - Refreshing DNCP lease on ethernet

I am using ethernet to connect to a firewall I am configuring. My
initial connection did not have any dhcp config info (because I had not
configured the server) like DNS servers and the like. I have since
configed the firewall, but cannot get this information to my system. I
tried:
ifdown p6p1; ifup p6p1
And that did not refresh the dhcp information. I deleted the lease on
the firewall and bounced the ethernet with no changes. /etc/resolv still
does not have my DNS server addresses.
With WiFi, I would have turned off the radio, turned it back on,
connected to my SSID and (normally) gotten the new lease info.
BTW, this is a F21/Gnome setup (have not found the time to upgrade this
notebook to F22...)
