Installing a DHCP plug-in on an MS DHCP server

  1. On the IMC server, edit the qvdm.conf file to enable IMC to obtain endpoint names or FQDNs from DHCP servers:

    1. In the \server\conf directory of the IMC installation path, use Notepad to open the qvdm.conf file.

    2. Add the following line to the file:

      l2topoPCNameDhcpSwitch=1
      
    3. Save and close the file.

    4. Restart IMC in the Intelligent Deployment Monitoring Agent.

  2. On the MS DHCP server, edit the imf.cfg file so that the DHCP server can communicate with IMC:

    1. Transfer the plug-in installation package dhcp-plug-windows.zip from the \windows\tools directory of the IMC installation package on the IMC server to the MS DHCP server.

    2. Decompress the installation package.

    3. Use Notepad to open the imf.cfg file in the \dhcp-plug-windows\server\imf\server\conf directory.

    4. Edit the imf.cfg file:

      • Set the value of IMGAddress to the IP address of the IMC server.

      • Set the value of IMGPort to the IMG port number, which is 8800 by default.

    5. Save and close the file.

  3. Run the install.bat script in the dhcp-plug-windows directory.

    After the installation is complete, a new service iMC DHCP Plug is added to the system services.

  4. Start the iMC DHCP Plug service:

    1. Click Start, and then select Administrative Tools > Component Services.

    2. On the Component Services page, select Services (Local) from the navigation tree.

    3. On the Services (Local) list, right-click the iMC DHCP Plug service, and then select Start.


      [NOTE: ]

      NOTE:

      Do not delete the directory where the plug-in installation package dhcp-plug-windows.zip is decompressed. If you delete the directory, you cannot uninstall the DHCP plug-in completely.


To uninstall the DHCP plug-in, run the uninstall.bat script in the dhcp-plug-windows directory.
