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:
Code
This is the code that describes the type of information being sent to the client. A large
list of possible codes exists.
Type
This describes the type of data which will be sent. For example, if the type is String then
the data is a character string.
