TCP/IP problems with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

In the event that you cannot obtain configuration data, try the following solutions.

If you cannot get an IP address or other configuration parameters:

  • Check to see that you have specified an interface to be configured. This can be done by using the SMIT fast path smit dhcp.
  • Check to see that there is a server on the local network or a relay agent configured to get your requests off the local network.
  • Check to see that the dhcpcd program is running. If it is not, use the startsrc -s dhcpcd command.
