DHCP is the protocol used to provide and distribute the IP addresses to devices within a network.
By default, essensys will centrally manage DHCP. If occupiers would like to manage the DHCP themselves, the operator can disable the DHCP scope for them in the essensys Platform.
Note: You should only disable the DHCP scope if the occupier has a Public IP service and the occupier's IT team has requested this. For more information, see Public IP and Unmanaged Networks.

Before you begin
The occupier must have network devices that use a public IP, and must have been assigned a Public IP service accordingly.

A confirmation dialog box opens.
If you are sure that you want to disable the DHCP scope for this occupier, confirm by clicking Disable.
The confirmation dialog box closes. The DHCP scope is updated to PENDING while the change is processed.
