The DHCP server by default is configured to run on all interfaces by design. However, in an implementation oversight, it was accidentally configured to run on all interfaces, instead of just all enabled interfaces.

So if you enable the DHCP server and have a network interface that is not enabled, the DHCP server will fail to start because the disabled network interface will not have a netmask assigned, which causes an error.

The work around, is to modify a line in your /usr/netmax/etc/rc.d/dhcp.sh file.

Edit the line that reads:

ei=`/usr/netmax/bin/suidscript -U NMcmd_ifconfig.list.ether`

So that it now reads:

ei=`/usr/netmax/bin/suidscript -U NMcmd_ifconfig.list.up.ether`

Note: Another work around would be to enable the disabled network interfaces.
