[j773303]

Does anyone know how to disable DHCP server on hp-ux 10.1 ?

[twang]

- edited the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and set DHCP_ENABLE[0]=0
- run set_parms ip_address
- add new ip address to /etc/hosts

Hi,

DHCP server is bootpd. It can be disabled in /ec/inetd.conf. But bootpd has some other functionalities. Check first in 'man bootpd'

Hi,

DHCP_ENABLE is only designed to manage the client part of DHCP.

Hi ,
Edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and set DHCP_ENABLE[0]=0. It will disable DHCP at next reboot

Hi

Jean-Louis has already provided the answer.

DHCP uses the bootpd daemon.
As Jean-Louis said you need to disable bootps in /etc/inetd.conf by commenting out the following line:
# bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/bootpd bootpd
Then run:
# inetd -c .

Note that Ignite-UX uses bootpd when recovering systems over the network. If this system is an Ignite Server then you shouldn't disable bootpd.

Cheers

Hi,

For disable DHCP Server do the following things

1.)Edit the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file

specify the lan interface
specify the IP Address and Subnetmask
then for disable change to DHCP_ENABLE[0]=0

and also specify the IP Address and hostname specify in the /etc/hosts file

reboot the system

Hi,

it is much easier:
in the early days of HP-UX 10 there was a feature/bug in HP's flavour of DHCPd (and it was/still is "bootpd").
If you had NO entry in the "/etc/bootptab" it would respond to all requests - but with an empty reply.
Have seen a lot of Windows-laptops dying during booting, when they requested an IP-address :-(

Solution (as done with HP-UX >= 10.20): enter a dummy paragraph into "/etc/bootptab", done!

FWIW,
Wodisch

PS: do you celebrate the final week of HP-UX10.x? End of support on 1st of July 2003...
