Can you edit and save the raw DHCP configuration file?

• A. Yes, with appropriate permissions
• B. No, it is read-only
• C. Yes, but only for backups
• D. Only with special tools

Answer: (B)

In Infoblox, you don’t edit a raw, static DHCP configuration file. The DHCP settings are stored and managed in the appliance’s database and exposed through the management UI or REST API. The DHCP daemon reads its active configuration from that internal source, not from a user-editable text file. Therefore the raw configuration file is read-only to prevent manual edits. To make changes, you modify DHCP objects (networks, ranges, options, etc.) via the UI or WAPI, and the appliance generates and applies the updated runtime configuration automatically.
