Configure or view DHCP server

You need to use the DHCP server configuration function to create a new DHCP configuration or view the existing DHCP configuration. To access the DHCP server configuration, follow these steps:

If you are creating a new DHCP configuration, you will use a wizard that helps you set up the DHCP server. This wizard asks you some of the basic configuration questions and steps you through the process of creating a subnet. After you have completed the wizard, you can change and improve the configuration to your network's needs.

If your DHCP server is already configured, the DHCP server configuration function will display the current configuration, including all of the subnets and clients that can be managed from the DHCP server and the configuration information that will be sent to the clients.

Create a shortcut to the DHCP configuration window

Follow these steps if you look at the DHCP configuration frequently and want to create a shortcut to the DHCP configuration window on your desktop.

1. In iSeries Navigator, expand your iSeries server > Network > Servers > TCP/IP > DHCP.
2. Right-click DHCP, and then select Create Shortcut.
