The DHCP plug-in is a Microsoft DHCP plug-in that utilizes the Microsoft DHCP Server Callout
Application Programming Interface (API). Installed on each DHCP server in your network, the
plug-in processes or ignores DHCP packets based on the end-user device Media Access Control
(MAC) address.
Novell ZENworks Network Access Control tests endpoints that request access to the network and
either assigns a quarantined Internet Protocol (IP) address (failed), or adds the MAC address of the
end-user device as an authorized device (allowed) to the Access Control List (ACL) on the
appropriate DHCP server.
