Monitoring DHCP Client Computers

m DHCP client ID
m computer name
m hardware address
To view the DHCP client list:

under the server entry.
If the services aren’t visible, click the arrow to the left of the server name.

Click Refresh to update the list.
Click any column heading to sort the list by different criteria.
Creating Subnets in DHCP Service
Subnets are groupings of client computers on the same network that are organized by
location (different floors of a building, for example) or by usage (all eighth-grade students,
for example). Each subnet has at least one range of IP addresses assigned to it.
To create a new subnet:
1 In Server Settings, click the Network tab.
2 Click DHCP/NetBoot and choose Configure DHCP/NetBoot.
3 Click New, or select an existing subnet and click Duplicate.
4 Enter the name of the new subnet and choose a port from the pop-up menu.
5 Enter a beginning and ending IP address for this subnet range.
