DESCRIPTION
The xjoin program is a graphical user interface program that enables
you to configure the DHCP server and server databases. For more infor‐
mation 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 config‐
ured, 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 con‐
figured 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 auto‐
matically 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.
