Configure DHCP Option 81

Ensure your Domain Name Server (DNS) always has the Pearl device's most up-to-date IP address mapped to
the Pearl device's Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). Option 81 support means you can keep using Pearl's
FQDN no matter how many times the DHCP server may change Pearl's IP address. The Pearl device
automatically asks the DHCP server to tell the Domain Name Server (DNS) to update the Pearl device's record
with any changes to the Pearl device's IP address or FQDN. DHCP Option 81 is disabled by default.
