5.2.2. Custom IPv4 Options

Adding a Custom Option to the DHCP server definition allows the administrator to send specific
pieces of information to DHCP clients in the DHCP leases that are sent out.

An example of this is certain switches that require the IP address of a TFTP server from which
they can get certain extra information.

Custom Option Parameters

The following parameters can be set for a custom option:
