<H1>DHCP Servers and BOOTP Relay Agents</H1>
You can use DHCP Manager to configure and manage your DHCP server or BOOTP relay agent, and their associated networks.<P>
<H2>DHCP Server</H2>
The DHCP server manages the IP address space of networks connected to the server. Use the <A HREF="dhcp_config_wiz.html">DHCP Configuration Wizard</A> to configure your DHCP server.
The DHCP Configuration Wizard steps through the procedure to configure the system as a DHCP server and configures the first network. The wizard performs the same steps as the Solaris <tt>dhcpconfig</tt> command.<p>
After initial configuration, you can configure additional options to customize the behavior of the DHCP server using the Modify option from the Service menu to open the <A HREF="dhcp_server_serv.html">Modify Service Options</A> dialog box. Use the Service menu to <A HREF="dhcp_relay_how.html#start"> stop, start,</A> <A HREF="dhcp_relay_how.html#dis">disable, enable, </A>and <A HREF="dhcp_relay_how.html#uncon">unconfigure</A> the DHCP server. The Service menu also provides selections for <A HREF="dhcp_relay_how.html#exp">exporting and importing data</A>, and <A HREF="dhcp_relay_how.html#conv">converting the data store</A>.
<H2>BOOTP Relay Agent</H2>
The BOOTP relay agent can receive requests for configuration from a client in a network not directly connected to a DHCP server and forward the request to a DHCP server. Use the <A HREF="dhcp_relay_config.html">BOOTP Configuration</A> dialog box for initial configuration. You can configure additional options using the Modify option from the Service menu to open the <A HREF="dhcp_relay_serv.html">Modify Service Options</A> dialog box. Use the Service menu to <A HREF="dhcp_relay_how.html#start"> stop, start,</A> <A HREF="dhcp_relay_how.html#dis">disable, enable, </A>and <A HREF="dhcp_relay_how.html#uncon2">unconfigure</A> the BOOTP relay agent. <P>
<H2>Networks</H2>
The DHCP server can manage clients and addresses on configured networks. Use the <A HREF="dhcp_config_wiz.html">DHCP Configuration Wizard</A> to configure the first network. After initial configuration, you can configure additional networks with the <A HREF="dhcp_net_wiz.html">Network Wizard</A>, available from the Edit menu.<P>
Select <A HREF="dhcp_net_del.html">Delete Network</A> from the Edit menu to remove a network from the list of monitored networks.
