<h1>Modify Address</h1>
The Address Properties dialog box lets you view and modify the settings for
an address in the current DHCP network table on the selected DHCP server. <p>
<center>
<table border=1 cellspacing=3 cellpadding=3>

<td valign="top" align="left" BGCOLOR="#EBEBEB">To modify
several addresses at once, select the addresses in the View Addresses main window,
and then choose Properties from the Edit menu to display the <a
href="dhcp_addr_multi.html">Modify Multiple Addresses</a> dialog box.</td>

<p>The settings in the Address Properties dialog box are described below.<p>
<P><HR NOSHADE><P>
<table border=0 cellspacing=4 cellpadding=3>

<td width=100 valign="top"><a name="ip"><STRONG>IP Address</STRONG></a></td>
<td valign="top">Specify the IP address to make available to new
DHCP clients. The new address must be unique in the current DHCP network table.</td>

<TD WIDTH="100" ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"><A NAME="name"><STRONG>Client Name</STRONG></A> (optional)</td>

attempt to create an entry in the <tt>hosts</tt>

IP address allocation.</td>

<td valign="top">Specify an optional macro for the server to
use to obtain client configuration parameters from the <tt>dhcptab</tt>. Click the arrow to see a list of macros available on the
server. If the macro you want to specify does not already exist on the server, you

Click Lease to configure the setting for lease status and expiration.
The following settings are available.
<table border=0 cellspacing=4 cellpadding=3>
<tr>
<TD WIDTH="100" ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"><a name="cid"><STRONG>Client ID</STRONG></a></td><td valign="top">A unique indentifier of the DHCP or BOOTP client using this address. The client ID is determined by the vendor of the DHCP client. For non-Solaris DHCP clients, consult your DHCP client documentation for more information.<P> For Solaris DHCP clients, the client ID is a string created by the concatenation of the network hardware type and the client's hardware address. For example, a client with a hardware type of <tt>01</tt> (10-Mb Ethernet) and a hardware address of <tt>8:0:20:11:12:b7</tt> would have a client ID of <tt>010800201112B7</tt>.
<p>
An entry with a Client ID value of 00 indicates that the address is
freely available for dynamic allocation to a requesting client.
