dhcp-options - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol options
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol allows the client to resceiveoptions
from the DHCP server describing the network configuration and various
services that are available on the network. The syntax for declaring options,
and the names and formats of the options that can be declared, are
documented here.
Option statements
The structure is always the following: DHCP option statements always start with the option keyword, followed by an option name, followed by option data. The option names and data formats are described below. It is not necessary to exhaustively specify all DHCP options - only those options which are needed by clients must be specified.
Option data comes in a variety of formats, as defined below:
The
ip-address
data type can be entered either as an explicit IP
address (e.g., 239.254.197.10) or as a domain name (e.g.,
haagen.isc.org). When entering a domain name, be sure that that
domain name resolves to a single IP address.
The
int
data type specifies an integer.
The
quote
data type specifies an NVT ASCII string, which must be
enclosed in double quotes - for example, to specify a domain-name
option, the syntax would be
option domain-name "isc.org";However, the quoting is done automaticaly by NameSurfer.
The
flag
data type specifies a boolean value. Booleans can be either true or
false (or on or off).
The
string
data type specifies either an NVT ASCII string
enclosed in double quotes, or a series of octets specified in
hexadecimal, separated by colons. For example:
option dhcp-client-identifier "CLIENT-FOO"; or option dhcp-client-identifier 43:4c:49:45:54:2d:46:4f:4f;
