Linux on IBM eServer zSeries and S/390: TCP/IP Broadcast on z/VM Guest LAN

Overview This paper provides information to help readers plan for and exploit Internet Protocol (IP) broadcast support that was made available to z/VM Guest LAN environments with the introduction of the z/VM 4.3 Operating System. Using IP broadcast support, Linux guests can for the first time use DHCP to lease an IP address dynamically from a DHCP server in a z/VM Guest LAN environment. This frees the administrator from the previous method of having to hardcode an IP address for every Linux guest in the system.
