  2. If you are logged in to the DHCP server system remotely, you can 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. Type the following command:


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

    The DHCP Manager window opens, displaying the Addresses tab if the server is configured as a DHCP server, or no tabs if the server is configured as a BOOTP relay agent.

    The DHCP Manager window closes.
