No DHCPD in Virtual Box Installation

I have installed a arch-linux in virtualbox, after the installation there is no dhcpd and internet is not working.

Any help on this. Is there any way to manually setup the ip,gateway and DNS in the virtual machine ?

You need to start and enable a dhcp client in the guest, e.g. dhcpcd.

A base installation does have systemd-networkd, which has a basic dhcp client. You can use that, or set things manually with ip.

And note, as tucuxi pointed out, dhcpd and dhcpcd are two different things.
