100*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
101*0Sstevel@tonic-gateDHCP Manager provides an integrated Java-based graphical
102*0Sstevel@tonic-gateinterface for Solaris<FONT SIZE="-1"><sup>TM</sup></FONT> DHCP management functions that can also be performed from the Solaris
103*0Sstevel@tonic-gatecommand line. DHCP Manager provides functions that are analogous to those available from:<p>
104*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
105*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	<ul>
106*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
107*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	<li><tt>dhcpconfig</tt> -- DHCP service
108*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	configuration utility</li>
109*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	<li><tt>dhtadm</tt> -- DHCP configuration table
110*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	management utility</li>
111*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	<li><tt>pntadm</tt> -- DHCP network table
112*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	management utility</li>

116*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	</ul>
117*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
118*0Sstevel@tonic-gate<p>You can use DHCP Manager in place of, or in combination with, all command-line-based Solaris DHCP functions.<p>
119*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
120*0Sstevel@tonic-gateDHCP Manager provides several benefits, compared with its command-line counterparts:<p>
121*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
122*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	<ul>
123*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
124*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	<li>A convenient, integrated &quot;point-and-click&quot; interface for the Solaris
125*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	DHCP server's most sophisticated functions.<p></li>
126*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
127*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	<li>A graphical view of the relationships between <tt>dhcptab</tt> macros and options, making it easier for
128*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	you to determine where to place option values for the most efficient
129*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	client configurations.<p></li>
130*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
131*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	<li>DHCP management wizards that guide you through tasks such as
132*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	configuring the DHCP server, configuring networks, and adding addresses.<p></li>
133*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
134*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	</ul>
135*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
136*0Sstevel@tonic-gateOf course, the command-line utilities are still useful for creating shell scripts for batch-processing administrative tasks.<P>
