Starting and Ending the DHCP Server from the Command LineInterface
The instructions in this section apply only to the command line interface. For
information on starting and ending the DHCP server with Operations Navigator, see
the online help in Operations Navigator.
Starting the DHCP Server
Tostart the DHCP server, specify the

Start TCP Server

(STRTCP) command. This
command has no parameters, and it attempts to start all of the TCP/IP servers that
have been designated for autostart, as follows:
STRTCP
The DHCP server starts with this command if the AUTOSTARTparameter in the
DHCP Server attributes is set to *YES.
Note: The AUTOSTARTparameter is a part of the CHGDHCPA command.
Youcan use the STRTCPSVR command to start the DHCP server outside of the
full-TCP start. STRTCPSVR has a SERVER parameter where you can specify
which TCP servers you want to start, as follows:
STRTCPSVR SERVER(*DHCP)
STRTCPSVR also has the following RESTARTparameter:
RESTART(*DHCP)
Automatically Starting the DHCP Server
The AUTOSTARTparameter of the CHGDHCPA command affects the operation of
the STRTCP command. It does not have an effect on how the STRTCPSVR
command works if DHCP is explicitly requested with SERVER(*DHCP). However,it
does have an effect if STRTCPSVR SERVER (*ALL) is issued. If you run the
STRTCPSVR SERVER (*DHCP) command when the DHCP server is running, you
receive a diagnostic message. In this case, the STRTCPSVR command ignores the
AUTOSTARTparameter value.
