Specifying DHCP Options
DHCP allows you to specify
options
, also known as BOOTP vendor extensions, to
provide additional configuration information to the client. Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF) Request for Comment (RFC) 2132 defines the options that you can
use.
Each option is identified by a numeric code. Examples of options that DHCP
servers pass to DHCP (and in many cases to BOOTP) clients are as follows:
1 Subnet Mask
3 Gateway/Router Address
6 Domain Name Server Addresses
12 Host Name
15 Domain Name
Note: You cannot find a list of all the possible DHCP options and their descriptions
in this document. Reference the actual IETF RFC documentation for a more
thorough explanation of how DHCP options work and for descriptions of the
