You can find the interface names by issuing SHOW XQ ETH in the simh console.

Without all these, you can connect from your laptop to the SimH VAX either through the operator’s console - by having e.g. SET CONSOLE TELNET=12001 in your ini file and telnetting to localhost on port 12001 - or by an emulated serial connection by enabling and configuring the VAX terminal multiplexer DZV11: SET DZ ENABLED SET DZ LINES=4 ATTACH -am DZ 12000 The above configures 4 serial lines and listens for (telnet) connections on port 12000.

When it comes to DECNET, I don't really care about that since right now I have a single VMS emulated system. I am running the current beta version so I will try it without the microcode. If I'm understanding correctly, unless I do TUN/TAP, VDE or SLiRP (NAT) I can't even connect to my emulated VAX via telnet or ftp?

With the current beta version (4.0) you don’t need to load the microcode (it’s builtin in the simulator). I encourage you to try the current development version. As for your specific problem, the only dubious thing I see in your INI file is the MAC address you are setting. I’d say that is not a valid Ethernet address. The current version can randomly generate a valid MAC address. I’ve attached the relevant HELP information at the end of this message. Please take into account that with your configuration you will NOT be able to “see" the simulated VAX from your laptop. To be able to establish communication between your host and the guest you should use TUN/TAP, VDE or SLiRP (NAT). In the case you go for SLiRP you will be limited to TCP/IP networking. Anyway, you can’t do DECNET over WiFi, so that’s probably OK with you. XQ Configuration Set commands Subtopic? mac MAC The MAC address of the controller is the Hardware MAC address which on real hardware is uniquely assigned by the factory. Each LAN device on a network must have unique MAC addresses for proper operation. sim> SET XQ MAC=<mac-address> A Valid MAC address is comprised of 6 pairs of hex digits delimited by dashes, colons or period characters. The default MAC address for the XQ device is set to a value in the range from 08-00-2B-00-00-00 thru 08-00-2B-FF-FF-FF. The SET MAC command must be done before the XQ device is attached to a network. Additional information available: Generated_MAC XQ Configuration Set commands MAC Subtopic? generated Generated MAC Support exists to provide a way to dynamically generate relatively unique MAC addresses and to provide a way to save generated addresses for subsequent reuse in later simulator invocations. sim> SET XQ MAC=AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF{/bits}{>filespec} where: 1.
