The service provides for the recovery and reallocation of idle IPs through its leasing mechanism. There are additional benefits to using CIT's centralized DHCP service. Unregistered clients configured for DHCP still have access to the network. We provide a link to name service that will allow access to a registered machine by reference to its unique name, no matter what IP is has at a given time. A registered roaming client will be able to work from any subnet without the user having to touch the network configuration.
Authorized administrators can modify address space and nameservice themselves.
Consult with your computing support staff for more information regarding this service. Some useful tools and reports are available from our registration site . Not only can you register a new host by supplying machine and contact information but you can also query these records, edit these records, and add WINS service options. Mobile users can view what subnets are configured for DHCP while departmental administrators can review active and abandoned leases per subnet. We have developed a web interface tool which will soon allow for users with administrative privileges to maintain the lists of subadministrators themselves.
