Connecting to remote DHCP servers

Connecting to remote DHCP servers

When you start the DHCP console, you are connected directly to a local DHCP server, but you won’t find entries for remote DHCP servers. You can connect to remote servers by following these steps:

1. Press and hold or right-click DHCP in the console tree, and then tap or click Add Server to open the dialog box shown in Figure 8–2.

FIGURE 8–2 If your DHCP server isn’t listed, you need to add it to the DHCP console by using the Add Server dialog box.

2. Select This Server, and then enter the IP address or computer name of the DHCP server you want to manage.

3. Tap or click OK. An entry for the DHCP server is added to the console tree.

TIP When you work with remote servers, you might find that you can’t select certain options. A simple refresh of the server information might resolve this problem. To refresh the server information press and hold or right-click the server node, and then select Refresh.
