Configuring Self-Defined DHCP Options
By configuring self-defined DHCP options, you can
z
Define new DHCP options. New configuration options will come out with DHCP development. To
support these new options, you can add them into the attribute list of the DHCP server.
z
Define existing DHCP options. Some options have no unified definitions in RFC 2132; however,
vendors can define such options as Option 43 as needed. The self-defined DHCP option enables
DHCP clients to obtain vendor-specific information.
z
Extend existing DHCP options. When the current DHCP options cannot meet the customers’
requirements (for example, you cannot use the dns-list command to configure more than eight
DNS server addresses), you can configure a self-defined option for extension.
