Ok so I have OpenVMS VAX running under simh. I am attempting to setup the dhcp server, but I'm unclear on some of the config. I tried following along with the online docs, but no go. My clients aren't getting dhcp leases. Any help is appreciated, I'm still learning OpenVMS. My config looks like this:

DHCPAP:

subnet1:\
    :tc=.global:\
    :nw=192.168.1.0:\
    :gw=192.168.1.1:\
    :sm=255.255.255.0:\
    :dn=LOCALDOMAIN:\
    :ds=192.168.1.1:\
    :lt=10080:

NETS:

192.168.1.10-192.168.1.50

NETMASK:

192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

I am running on a 192.168.1.x/24 network. In case anyone else runs into this issue, my config is:

DHCPCAP

subnet1:\
    :tc=.global:\
    :nw=192.168.1.0:\
    :gw=192.168.1.1:\
    :sm=255.255.255.0:\
    :dn=LOCALDOMAIN:\
    :ds=8.8.8.8:\
    :lt=10080:

NETS

*(192.168.1.250 is the dhcp server/OpenVMS ip, 192.168.1.30-192.168.1.50 is the pool range.)*

192.168.1.0 192.168.1.250 192.168.1.30-192.168.1.50

Netmasks

192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

If you have a recent version of OpenVMS and TCPIP, you can set it up with

$ SYS$STARTUP:@TCPIP$CONFIG

then you can launch it

@sys$startup:TCPIP$DHCP_STARTUP.COM

and you should have a DHCP server

see this doc for configuring it

http://h41379.www4.hpe.com/doc/732final/6526/6526pro_018.html

to stop it

$ @SYS$STARTUP:TCPIP$DHCP_SHUTDOWN.COM
