The IPAM DHCP & DNS Management (Legacy) view

The legacy IPAM DHCP & DNS Management page allows you to navigate through tabs to manage your DNS and DHCP servers.

To toggle between new and legacy versions of the DHCP & DNS Management page, see Switch between versions.

 

The DHCP & DNS Management page is divided into two panes.

The left pane can be used to group and select the items displayed by catagories.

The right pane provides three tabs, providing the following views:

  • DHCP tab
  • DNS Zones tab
  • DNS Servers tab

The columns in the DHCP, DNS Zones and DNS Servers views can be hidden or displayed by moving the cursor over any column heading, clicking on the down arrow that appears, selecting Add/Remove Columns, and selecting or deselecting the appropriate item. You can also drag and drop the columns into the order required in the DNS Zones and DNS Servers views. These changes will be retained for your login.
