Alan; I had been looking at the Hints and Tips site while attempting to troubleshoot the problem. I do not see anything relevant that I have not already tried. Was there some advice in particular you had in mind?
I am aware that layer 2 VSWITCH is the way to go. Unfortunately, we deployed VSWITCH in z/VM 4.4, when it was layer 3 only. All of our production linux users are using the VSWITCH now, and I don't understand how we can effectively migrate our users to layer 2 given the limitation that a VSWITCH of one type will not intercommunicate with a VSWITCH of the other. I'll look at getting the new maintenance applied. ok r. -----Original Message----- From: Alan Altmark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 12, 2007 3:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: problem with DHCP in SLES10 again, this time with z/VM 5.2 On Friday, 01/12/2007 at 02:43 PST, "Stricklin, Raymond J" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks to the help of the kind folks on this list, I got DHCP working > with SLES10 under z/VM 5.1 several months ago.

Please see http://www.vm.ibm.com/virtualnetwork/hints.html. I know you have ARP=no, but check the other recommendations as well. Also, there is additional maintence available beyond VM63850. Please see http://www.vm.ibm.com/virtualnetwork/mntlvl52.html. Finally, layer 2 doesn't have this problem with IP address management since communications are at the MAC layer and ARPs (real or virtual) are used. Consider that as an alternative.
