DHCP Gen-Options commands
ip dhcp gen-option tag option 1..255 [ data-type { ascii | hex | dotted-decimal } ] [ data data ]
This command allows you to specify a DHCP generic option set specified by tag of one to 15 characters. You
can specify up to 20 gen-options. Each can contain up to 100 bytes of data, up to a maximum of 912 bytes of
options data total, although, in practical terms, the CLI’s 80-character limit will restrict it to fewer. An option
specified by a gen-option will be served only if the client requests it.
The following table shows the formats and sizes for known options, and whether or not you can configure a
gen-option of that type.
