[Simh] VMS multinet DHCLIENT/SSH2 configuration problem

[Tim Stark]

Folks,

 

Thanks for info.  I figured out and have to put 'define/system/exec
multinet_dhcp_client "1"' before start_multinet script. 

It now worked fine but interfaces are still not updated (no effect).
Installation guide did not mention that.

 

I now have another problem.

 

I have some problem with @configure setup.  When I put 0.0.0.0 as default IP
address and execute dhclient.

I think that @configure is for manual settings with static IP address only
but I want automated settings with DHCP client.

 

After dhclient was executed, it successfully got correct settings (according
to log files) from my fios router but it still display 0.0.0.0 on SHOW NET
and MULTINET CONFIGURE /INTERFACE (show command).

 

I tried to execute @dhclient-script.com and it verbosely did set settings
properly but SHOW NETWORKS still display 0.0.0.0.

 

Does anyone know any solution?

 

Thanks,

Tim

Folks,

 

I tried to configure DHCLIENT for DHCP access from my FIOS gateway router
but DHCLIENT crashed during boot time and complaint undefined symbol in API
libraries. 

 

Also I am figuring out how to set SSH2 terminal server. I successfully
generated SSH2 keys on emulated SIMH VAX system.

 

Does anyone know good DHCLIENT and SSH2 configuration instructions for
OpenVMS 7.3 and Multinet 5.5?


SSH2 is covered in the MultiNet Installation and Administration Guide:

http://www.process.com/docs/multinet5_5/install_admin/chapter_28.htm

There's also an FAQ here:

http://www.process.com/support/multinet/faq/ssh.html

The DHCP client is documented here:

http://www.process.com/docs/multinet5_5/install_admin/chapter_16.htm
