<br />
On Netware you can use the DNS/DHCP management tool to export DHCP data as described in the documentation:<br />

On OES2 it's basically the same:<br />

Thanks for the link and your assistance. &nbsp;I am not a Novell boffin, so this is a bit of a stupid question. &nbsp;There is iManager which doesn't have the option of export. &nbsp;Where may I find the information to install the Java Management Console for DNS/DHCP?<br />

I am trying to find a way of exporting 100's of statically assigned IP addresses in Novell's DHCP server. &nbsp;The reason for this is because I am taking down the Novell DHCP server and placing a DHCPD (CENTOS) server in its replacement. &nbsp;I have seen the the data is stored in a file somewhere for DNS to read it however I am not sure where this file is located or if it is readable to be able to import into DHCPD.

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

NetWare is a computer network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used cooperative multitasking to run various services on a personal computer, using the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) network protocol. It is hardware-independent, running on any suitable Intel-based PC compatible system, and a wide range of network cards. Products inclue NetWare Directory Services (NDS), a global directory service similar to Microsoft's Active Directory; GroupWise, an email system; ZENworks, an application configuration suite; and BorderManager, a security product. Open Enterprise Server, the current iteration, runs on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).
