DHCP on OES has been integrated with eDirectory. This means you can transition your existing DHCP infrastructure from NetWare to OES, as well as centrally administer it the same way you do on NetWare.
The DHCP services in OES have been enhanced to store configuration information in eDirectory just as NetWare implementations do.
After the DHCP information has been migrated to OES 11 SP3, administration can be performed through the DNS/DHCP Java Console.
DHCP platform differences are summarized in DHCP Differences Between NetWare and OES 11 SP3
in the OES 11 SP3: Planning and Implementation Guide.
