ENABLING DHCP

[Adrian Jujescu]

Hi all!!!


I work on VISUALE 3600 workstation with HP-UX 11.0 and I have a strange problem with DHCP enabling.
I'll try using SAM to enable the DHCP IP address allocation. In SAM window all seems OK( on the proper button is writing DISABLE DHCP ) but after I reboot the workstation I'll find the same button with ENABLE DHCP on it. Similarly in /atc/auto_parms.log I find the message:
DHCP is disbled for: lan0

Do you know what happened and what can I do to eventually manually activate the DHCP mode( files to edit, useful docs, etc. )???

Thank you in advance for your help!!!

Hi Adrian,

The easiest way to enable DHCP is to run

# set_parms initial

Hi,

Edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and set appropriate DHCP_ENABLE[NNN] to 1 and reboot the computer.
As far as I understand, in the /etc/hosts file should not be the computer's hostname.

Good luck
