Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP Client command reference
iMG/RG Software Reference Manual (System Administration)
5-60
Description This command tells the DHCP client to send a value for the given DHCP configuration
option to a DHCP server. The DHCP server’s response depends on the type of option
being sent out.
Options The following table gives the range of values for each option that can be specified with
this command and a default value (if applicable).
Example --> dhcpclient interfaceconfig client1 add sent option host-name ‘“vancouver”’
This command example tells the DHCP client to send the DHCP host-name option to
the DHCP server with the value “vancouver”. Note that for options with string-type val-
ues associated with them, the option value must be in double-quotes (“ ”). Also, the
entire string including the double quotes must be inside single quotes (‘’) to ensure that
the CLI treats the double quotes literally.
