Easiest is to change to use a Layer 2 VSWITCH (TYPE ETHERNET). To use DHCP with Layer 3, you have to get the device driver to generate fake ethernet frame headers. E.g. For NIC A000 on SLES9: /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.a000: CCW_CHAN_IDS='0.0.a000 0.0.a001 0.0.a002' CCW_CHAN_MODE='OSAPORT' CCW_CHAN_NUM='3' MODULE='qeth' MODULE_OPTIONS='' SCRIPTDOWN='hwdown-ccw' SCRIPTUP='hwup-ccw' SCRIPTUP_ccw='hwup-ccw' SCRIPTUP_ccwgroup='hwup-qeth' STARTMODE='auto' QETH_OPTIONS='fake_ll=1' <---- look here!
