A.5.1 - Overview
A DHCP server has various options numbered as follows:
- From 1 to 223: reserved options. For example, option 3 gives the list of
routers and 15 lists DNS servers.
- From 224 to 254: private options. Available for manufacturer use.
The Axel options are contained within the range of numbers from 231 to 240.
The ‘type’ is always ‘character string’. The format of the entry is as follows:
- Entry starts with a keyword followed by one or more parameters.
- The symbol ":" is used as separator.
☺
: In contrast to some implementations Axel uses a ‘keyword’ rather than a
specific number. The actual number (231 to 240) is irrelevant so any non-
conflicting number in this range can be used.
For more information on the Axel options see chapter A.6.3.
