DHCP configuration problems (OpenVMS x86_64 E9.2-1)

Post by sword7 » Sat Apr 22, 2023 6:14 pm

Folks,

I tried to enable DHCP client. When I rebooted system and it show normal boot messages (no errors) but....
I tried to open FTP connection but got I/O error on network device - permanent failure.

$ sh net

Product: DECNET Node: TSVMSP Address(es): 31.154
Product: TCP/IP Node: <TCP/IP host/node name not yet available> Address
(es): 0.0.0.0
$ ftp ftp.process.com
%TCPIP-E-FTP_NETERR, I/O error on network device
-TCPIP-E-EAI_FAIL, permanent failure
$

When I disabled DHCP client and rebooted system, all problems disappeared and returned back to normal.

$ sh net

Product: DECNET Node: TSVMSP Address(es): 31.154
Product: TCP/IP Node: tsvmsp.local Address(es): 192.168.1.166
$ ftp ftp.process.com
220 triton.process.com MultiNet FTP Server Process V5.6(17) at Sat 22-Apr-2023 5
:59PM-EDT
Connected to ftp.process.com.
Name (ftp.process.com:system): Exit
221 QUIT command received. Goodbye.

I think that it is possibly a bug in network device that blocks DHCP settings from DHCP client. Does anyone have solution with that?

Here are two log files from TCPIP$DHCP when attempting to obtain information from my Verizon G3100 router.

$ type sys$sysdevice:[tcpip$dhcp]tcpip$dhcp_client_run.log
