xjoin(8) System Manager's Manual xjoin(8) NAME xjoin - Graphical user interface program to configure DHCP server SYNOPSIS /usr/bin/X11/xjoin DESCRIPTION The xjoin program is a graphical user interface program that enables you to configure the DHCP server and server databases. For more infor- mation on DHCP, see the dhcp(7) reference page. To start xjoin, type the following command: # /usr/bin/X11/xjoin Then, click on the one of the tabs to get started. To exit xjoin, select File then Exit. Then, click on Yes in the Verify dialog box to confirm that you want to exit the program. The Main Window Along the top of the Main window are tabs. Each tab represents a cate- gory of parameters that you set to configure systems on your network. When you select a tab, the window lists the parameters for the subject of the tab. For the Server/Security, Subnets, Nodes, and Groups tabs, the window is separated into three parts. On the left is the subject to be config- ured, in the middle are the parameter choices for the subject, and on the right is the field into which you enter a value for a parameter. When you select a parameter in the middle of the window, you enter a value for it into a field on the right side of the window. For the Active IP Snapshot and Preload MAC addresses, the window is di- vided into two parts. On the left are those addresses that have been configured. On the right are the corresponding parameters for the con- figured addresses. Entering Information into Fields You can enter the following information in a field: Descriptive text, like an IP address Time in hours, minutes, and seconds A true or false selection Where there is more than one value field, press Tab to move to the next field. To delete information in a field, select the text and press the Delete key. As you add or revise information in a field, the information is auto- matically saved on in memory. However, to update the database with the changes you have made, click on the Update button. For some subjects, you can add more than one record, such as when you are adding certain client configurations. When you want to add a new record, select New Record on the left side of the window. If there is only one possible record for a subject, New Record does not appear. To print the contents of a record, select Print. RESTRICTIONS You must have superuser privileges to use xjoin. A cluster member should never be a DHCP client. It should always use static addressing. If a cluster is to support a DHCP server, there can only be one DHCP server for all the cluster members using a common database with failover. FILES Specifies the command path.
