I'm trying to get SIMH to work on OSX (Snow Leopard 10.6) running
OpenVMS 7.3, but I can't get the networking to work.
I have SIMH built with networking support, OpenVMS 7.3 installed and
running. I have the IP stack configured and running (TCPWare) but there
is no IP traffic in our out.
From OSX, a "netstat -i" shows the physical Ethernet adapters
installed. It looks to me that EN1 is the correct Ethernet device to use.
netstat -i

Starting SIMH (using sudo for root privs).
sim> show version
VAX simulator V3.8-1 [64b data, 64b addresses, Ethernet support]
sim> show xq eth
ETH devices:
0 en0 (No description available)
1 en1 (No description available)
2 en2 (No description available)
sim> attach xq en1
Eth: closed en0
Eth: opened en1
sim> show xq
XQ, address=20001920-2000192F, no vector, MAC=08:00:2B:AA:BB:CC,
type=DELQA, poll=100, attached to en1
sim>
One item that bothers me is the "no description available" from the show
xq eth output. Not sure if this is the main issue or not, as I'm not
familiar how PCAP works or if I need to have a specific version.
After booting VMS and starting TCPWare, I can't ping (to/from) or any
other network services. VMS sees the XQA-0 device.
I have read the info at HoffmanLabs
(http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/922), but the links are dead for the
tun/tap discussion. I'm not very familiar with OSX/Unix to use some of
the generic tun/tap implementations that I found (I would need step by
step instructions).
Thanks in advance if someone can point me in the right direction to get
networking to work.
