		 |  |  |   AddressesWhen you select the Addresses tab in the main window, DHCP Manager displays the
client records in the selected network, sorted by host name.  These records are stored in the DHCP network tables maintained by the data store.
List AddressesTo view the records sorted by IP address, click Show Address in
the View menu. Servers and clients are listed by IP address instead of by host name.
 
Change SortThe client records are sorted by client
IP address or host name.  To change the sort, click
in the column header. For example, click the Server
column heading to view the records alphabetically in ascending 
order by server name.  Hold down the Shift key and click the 
Server column heading to view the records listed by server
in descending order.
 
Add AddressTo add new addresses to the selected network, choose the Address Wizard from the Edit menu.
You can add a single address by selecting
Create from the Edit menu.
 
Modify AddressYou can select an address and view the settings assigned to that address, 
modify one or more settings, and release or delete addresses in the list.
 
 
Address SettingsThe address settings are described in the following table.
 
 
	
	| IP Address | An IP address in
the selected network that can be made available to DHCP clients. |  
	| Status | The lease and address attributes assigned to the client: 
		
		| Dynamic | DHCP server is responsible for the allocation 
		and re-allocation of IP addresses. |  
		| Permanent | Disable evaluation of the lease setting (lease 
		is permanent). |  
		| Reserved (Manual)
 | The address is reserved for this client (manually
		assigned). The DHCP server cannot assign this address to another
		client. The address cannot be reclaimed by the DHCP server. |  
		| BOOTP | The selected IP addresses are reserved for 
		BOOTP clients only. |  
		| Unusable | This address is not usable. This setting
		can also be used in combination with the Reserved setting to 
		prevent the client from booting. |  |  
	| Expires | The date
the lease expires for this IP address.
		You can specify an expiration date for the lease in 
		mm/dd/yyyy format. |  
	| Server | The IP address of the DHCP server 
	that owns this IP address. This server is 
	responsible for initially responding to the DHCP client's request for 
	an IP address. |  
	| Macro | An optional macro for the server to 
	use to obtain client configuration parameters from the dhcptab. |  
	| Client ID | A unique indentifier of the DHCP or BOOTP client using this address. The client ID is determined by the vendor of the DHCP client. For non-Solaris DHCP clients, consult your DHCP client documentation for more information.  For Solaris DHCP clients, the client ID is a string created by the concatenation of the network hardware type and the client's hardware address. For example, a client with a hardware type of 01 (10-Mb Ethernet) and a hardware address of 8:0:20:11:12:b7 would have a client ID of 010800201112B7.
 
	An entry with a Client ID value of 00 indicates that the address is
	freely available for dynamic allocation to a requesting client.
