DHCP Options
DHCP provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network.
Configuration parameters and other control information are carried in tagged data items that are stored
in the options field of the DHCP message. The data items themselves are also called options.
This appendix contains DHCP options and BOOTP vendor extensions from RFC 2132, and includes the
validation type for each option, as indicated in
Table B-10 on page B-14 .
This appendix also contains the standard Microsoft client options and several tables displaying the
options sorted by categories.
