<h1>Unconfigure DHCP Service</h1>
If you no longer want a system to run the DHCP service, you can unconfigure the DHCP service. If you want the DHCP service to be halted temporarily, use <A HREF="dhcp_relay_how.html#start">Stop</A> or <A HREF="dhcp_relay_how.html#dis">Disable</A> from the Service menu to halt or disable DHCP service.
<p>
If you want to unconfigure the DHCP server, but the networks and addresses served by this server are still to be used as DHCP addresses, be sure that you have transferred those addresses to another working DHCP server before unconfiguring the original server. See <a href="dhcp_relay_how.html#exp">instructions for exporting and importing data</a> .<p>
When you unconfigure the server, you must decide what to do with the server's data: <P>
<STRONG>Remove all hosts table entries for DHCP addresses:</STRONG>
Unconfiguring the DHCP server will remove all DHCP tables. Be aware that if you are sharing the DHCP data using NIS+ or through files shared in NFS, you should not remove the DHCP data. <P>
<STRONG>Remove the dhcptab and all DHCP network tables:</STRONG>
Check this box to also remove entries from the server's hosts resource.<P>
