About DHCP Manager

DHCP Manager provides an integrated Java-based graphical interface for Solaris^TM DHCP management functions that can also be performed from the Solaris command line. DHCP Manager provides functions that are analogous to those available from:

dhcpconfig -- DHCP service configuration utility
dhtadm -- DHCP configuration table management utility
pntadm -- DHCP network table management utility
in.dhcpd -- DHCP server and BOOTP relay daemon

You can use DHCP Manager in place of, or in combination with, all command-line-based Solaris DHCP functions.

DHCP Manager provides several benefits, compared with its command-line counterparts:

A convenient, integrated "point-and-click" interface for the Solaris DHCP server's most sophisticated functions.
A graphical view of the relationships between dhcptab macros and options, making it easier for you to determine where to place option values for the most efficient client configurations.
DHCP management wizards that guide you through tasks such as configuring the DHCP server, configuring networks, and adding addresses.

Of course, the command-line utilities are still useful for creating shell scripts for batch-processing administrative tasks.
