DHCP Manager Menus

DHCP Manager menus include the following items:

• File – Exit DHCP Manager.

• Edit – Perform management tasks for networks, addresses, macros, and options.

• View – Change the look of the tab currently selected.

• Service – Manage the DHCP daemon and data store.

• Help – Open your web browser and display help for DHCP Manager.

When DHCP Manager runs on a BOOTP relay agent, the Edit and View menus are disabled.

All DHCP management tasks are accomplished through the Edit and Service menus.

You use the commands in the Edit menu to create, delete, and modify items in the selected tab. Items can include networks, addresses, macros, and options. When the Addresses tab is selected, the Edit menu also lists wizards. Wizards are sets of dialogs that help you create networks and multiple IP addresses.

The Service menu lists commands that enable you to manage the DHCP daemon. From the Service menu, you can perform the following tasks:

• Start and stop the DHCP daemon.

• Enable and disable the DHCP daemon.

• Modify the server configuration.

• Unconfigure the server.

• Convert the data store.

• Export and import data on the server.
