Does anyone have a quick tutorial on how to implement DHCP services on
Linux for z/series? The reason I Am asking is that we are doing a
DR test
next week and we will be actually using windows 2000 with PC/3270
emulators
as workstations instead of dumb terminals. Our plan was to simply
manually
assign them IP addresses. If I can get a DHCP server running to
give out
the addresses in a pool from 137.70.103.1 to 137.70.103.50 That will
probably be more effective.
The problem is I have today and tomorrow to get it working before
the tapes
are cut for the pull on monday.
This is a roll of the dice to be sure, but if I can do it.....
man dhcpd.conf.
It's really pretty easy, *assuming* that your Linux guest running the
DHCP server is really broadcasting to the PCs (VSWITCH should work,
or a dedicated OSA port for that guest, but a Guest LAN wouldn't,
because broadcast stays in the same subnet, and a Guest LAN routed
through the VM stack is, well, routed).
You'll want, at a minimum, something like....
option domain "example.com";
option domain-name-servers ns1.example.com,ns2.example.com;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
subnet 137.70.103.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option broadcast-address 137.70.103.255;
option routers 137.70.103.254;
range 137.70.103.1 137.70.103.50;
}
