Novell® DNS/DHCP Services in NetWare 5 integrates the Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) into the NDS database. Integrating these services into NDS provides centralized administration and enterprise-wide management of network (IP) addresses, configuration, and hostnames.
The DNS/DHCP Management Console is a Java application that provides a graphical user interface to manage the objects created to support DNS and DHCP. The DNS/DHCP Management Console can function as a standalone utility, or it can be accessed from the Tools menu of the NetWare Administrator utility.
NOTE: In this document, the term host refers to a network device that requires an IP address and might have a hostname.
