The Linux server is setup as a DHCP server and the AIX machine is defined in the DHCPD.CONF file with correct MAC address and the designated IP address. So I am expecting the clinet to have its IP address allocated by the DHCP system on the Linux server. By what is written in the DHCP logs the request is being answered but the client is not adopting the address.

NAME
auto_parms - initial system configuration plus DHCP support command
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The command is a system initialization command that handles first-boot configuration, that is, the setting of unique system "initial iden-
tity parameters", and ongoing management of DHCP lease(s). The command is invoked at boot time by the command. Initially it loads a list
of available ethernet interfaces and requests a DHCP lease on each interface. See the rc(1M) manpage for information about for invocation
context.
While checking for availability of a lease on each interface, also consults and examines the variable If it is set to "1", attempts to
request a lease on the the interface designated by If is set to "0" (the default case) or is absent from does not attempt a DHCP request on
that interface.
Once a lease is secured, the information supplied with the lease is used to initialize key networking parameters; see dhcpdb2conf(1M).
If detects that the system is undergoing "first-boot" (meaning the system's hostname is not yet set), it invokes to verify the DHCP-sup-
plied parameters and to collect any parameters not supplied by DHCP.
For all subsequent boots, the data supplied by a DHCP lease is assumed by to be correct. Note that in a (non-mobile) environment where
DHCP is used for IP address management, under normal conditions the lease information should not change between reboots. This is accom-
plished by placing in "lease maintenance mode" prior to exiting.
