Something we ran into with SLES10 SP1: # this option is REQUIRED as of SLES10 SP1 # the DHCP server will unicast DHCP ACKs without it. always-broadcast on;
This must be in dhcpd.conf on the server, or the linux clients will never receive their leases. It's possible this problem does not exist if you are using a layer two (ETHERNET) VSWITCH. ok r. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan McCain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 04, 2008 2:24 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Running DHCP Server on a Linux guest We've had a heck of a time trying to get DHCPD running on SLES10. I've noticed that The Linux guest isn't accepting broadcasts. When typing "tcpdump -nepi eth0 broadcast" on regular x86 servers, it spits out all kinds of stuff. On the servers we have running on z/VM, nothing comes back. Can someone point me to a document that explains what needs to be configured in order to run a DHCP server?
