Make a DHCP reservation in Novell

OK, I am way out of my league here. I am working on a Novell 6 network and need to make some DHCP reservations. There is a DHCP app on one of the connected machines where the scope is setup but what we need to do is make our IP phones a different range other than our regular range that the scope is handing out. Because of that, we would like to take the MAC addresses and reserve them to a lower range to preserve the number of IPs we are able to give up.
I am familiar with Windows DHCP servers and don't see any of the usual steps to perform these tasks on the Novell app. I have the MAC addresses I need, just need to know where to make the settings.
Thanks.

I believe that Novell calls it Manual IP Assignment. Don't recall the exact steps off hand, but that should at least get you in the right direction.

Thanks. I found instructions for making Manual IP assignments in the iManager by going to DHCP under "Roles and Tasks". However, I don't see DHCP under Roles and Tasks or anywhere else in the iManager. I am not experienced in Novell at all so this is all new to me.

You're welcome. It's been a while since I've used Novell, much less Novell 6. I'm hopeful that there are plans for upgrading in the future.

I am having difficulty finding DHCP. It appears that your article will be exactly what I need but I can't search for nor find the applet for DHCP
