   See How to Start and Stop DHCP Manager for information about DHCP Manager.

8. In the Client ID field, type the client's identifier.

   For a BOOTP Solaris client on an Ethernet network, the client ID is a string that is derived from the client's hexadecimal Ethernet address. The client ID includes a prefix that indicates the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) type for Ethernet (01). For example, a BOOTP client with the Ethernet address 8:0:20:94:12:1e would use the client ID 0108002094121E.
