1. Check for DHCP logs. If the server is working properly, these logs should show successful lease requests from clients.
2. Ping the DHCP server from clients and make sure it responds.
3. Check if clients are receiving IP addresses from the DHCP server by using the ipconfig command on Windows or the ifconfig command on Linux/UNIX systems.
4. Make sure that the DHCP server is listening on the correct network interface.
5. Use a network sniffer like Wireshark to monitor DHCP communication.
