5.7.9.1 Start-up Sequence
When the first IP over twinax IBM Network Station starts, OS/400 checks to
see if a TCP/IP interface of type *TDLC exists. If not, the workstation
controller calls the program QSYS/QTODDTWX to query the DHCP server
configuration file (
dhcpsd.cfg) for a TCP/IP address and mask to use.
The system automatically builds a QTDLxxxxxx line, controller, and device. A
device type of 5150 is created underneath the workstation controller
description for each Network Station. Figure 75 on page 167 shows the QTDL
objects created by the automatic configuration.
If the IBM Network Station displays the NS0500 message and no further
messages are logged, ensure that the system value
QAUTOCFG is turned
on.
