DESCRIPTION

       The xjoin program is a graphical user interface program that enables you to configure the DHCP  server  and  server  databases.	 For  more
       information on DHCP, see dhcp(7).

       To start xjoin, enter the following command: # /usr/bin/X11/xjoin

       Click on one of the tabs to get started.

       To exit xjoin, select File then Exit. Click on Yes in the Verify dialog box to confirm that you want to exit the program.

   The Main Window
       Each  tab along the top of the Main window represents a category of parameters that you set to configure systems on your network.  When you
       select a tab, the parameters for the subject of the tab are listed.

       For the Server/Security, Subnets, Nodes, and Groups tabs, the window is separated into three parts.  On the left is the subject to be  con-
       figured,  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 parame-
       ter.  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 divided into two parts. On the left are those addresses that have  been
       configured.  On the right are the corresponding parameters for the configured 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 automatically saved 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 be only one DHCP server for all the	cluster  members  using  a  common  database  with
       failover.

FILES

       Specifies the command path.
