AIX7-00-003050 - If DHCP is not enabled in the network on AIX, the dhcprd daemon must be disabled.

Information

The dhcprd daemon listens for broadcast packets, receives them, and forwards them to the appropriate server.

To prevent remote attacks this daemon should not be enabled unless there is no alternative.

Solution

In "/etc/rc.tcpip", comment out the "dhcprd" entry by running command:
# chrctcp -d dhcprd
