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 configured,
  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 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.
