ProcedureHow to Start and Stop DHCP Manager

  1. Become superuser on the DHCP server system.

  2. (Optional) If you are logged in to the DHCP server system remotely, display DHCP Manager on your local system as follows.

    1. Type the following on the local system:


      # xhost +server-name
      
    2. Type the following on the remote DHCP server system:


      # DISPLAY=local-hostname;export DISPLAY
      
  3. Start DHCP Manager.


    # /usr/sadm/admin/bin/dhcpmgr &
    

    The DHCP Manager window opens. If the server is configured as a DHCP server, the window displays the Addresses tab. If the server is configured as a BOOTP relay agent, the window displays with no tabs.

  4. To stop DHCP Manager, choose Exit from the File menu.

    The DHCP Manager window closes.
