XSR(config-dhcp-class)#
Example
The following example specifies the IP address of a next‐server:
XSR(config-dhcp-pool)next-server 192.168.57.4
option
This command configures DHCP server options/extensions. DHCP Server provides a framework
for passing configuration data to hosts on a TCP/IP network. Configuration values and other
control data are carried in tagged data items stored in the options field of the DHCP message.
The data items are also called options or client extensions. The current set of XSR‐supported
DHCP options and BOOTP vendor extensions are described in
and
generally in RFC‐2132. Default values are defined in RFC‐1122.
Depending on the client configuration inheritance, the command should be used from the proper
mode. If it is specified from multiple modes, an override mechanism chooses the innermost config
value, with host as innermost, then client‐class and pool as the most general.
