DHCP Management Module
A feature rich management interface on top of your DHCP servers
The Men & Mice DHCP Management module provides a robust management layer on top of existing DHCP infrastructure. It provides a powerful, feature rich management console which interacts, via a central server, with existing DHCP servers. This natural approach allows for great flexibility in defining user access rights and makes it easy to deal with the management problems commonly associated with complex enterprise DHCP infrastructures. It is fully integrated with the Men & Mice Suite's DNS and IP address management modules, enabling the operation of DNS, DHCP and IP address configuration as a managed unified whole.
The Men & Mice DHCP Management module is one of four application modules which comprise the Men & Mice Suite. The other three modules are:
The DHCP Management module brings true enterprise management features, including:

-
State of the art mission-based web interface. Junior administrators and helpdesk personnel receive a "fool-proof" one page, web browser interface, customized for mission (task) at hand (e.g. releasing DHCP lease)
-
Split-scope configuration The DHCP module provides a unique tool for working with split-scope configurations. It is easy to see which scopes make up a split scope configuration. Adding, deleting or modifying a DHCP reservation in a split scope will automatically replicate to any number of physical DHCP servers within the same split-scope, ensuring that DHCP reservations will remain identical. A powerful graphical overview of DHCP scopes makes for a quick snapshot view of health and statistics.

-
Microsoft, ISC and Cisco DHCP support Support for hybrid environment with Microsoft, ISC and Cisco DHCP servers, all managed through single unified interface.
-
DHCP lease history. History of who had which DHCP IP address at any time can be viewed from the DHCP module for both Microsoft and ISC DHCP servers.

-
Integration with IP Address Management. When the Men & Mice IP Address Management module is enabled, the creation, deletion and configuration of DHCP scopes is automatically synchronized with other IP address related data.
-
Integration with DNS Management. Enabling the Men & Mice DNS Management module further results in added benefits. Administrators can easily view device associations, both in DNS and DHCP. Changing information in DHCP view (e.g. IP address) will automatically change the corresponding information in DNS, and vice versa.

-
Seamless support for split-scope configurations on Microsoft DHCP servers. Administrators can easily create and manage split-scope configurations. The DHCP Management module provides a rich set of tools, such as detailed graphical representations of split-scope configurations and powerful reporting. Using the DHCP Management module it easy for administrators to guarantee identical reservations.
