Chapter 3 Using IPM to Measure Network Performance
Measuring Network Performance for DHCP
Figure 3-1 DHCP Operation Configuration Window
Step 4 In the Name field, enter a descriptive name to assign to the operation. In the Description field, you can
enter a brief description of the operation, including its purpose.
Step 5 Select Enable DHCP Server to enable a specific server name or address for DHCP operations. Then,
enter the DHCP server name or address.
IPM will use the server you specify for collectors you have configured for the DHCP operation.
If you have not selected Enable DHCP Server, the source will do a broadcast and select any of the DHCP
servers configured on the network.
Step 6 Click Add.
IPM adds the newly defined operation to the IPM database.
Step 7 Click Close to close the Configuration window.
For more detailed information about the options available from the DHCP Operation Configuration
window, see the “DHCP Operation Configuration Window” topic in the online help.
