This Software Version includes the following enhancement to DHCP:
■ DHCP Options
This section describes the enhancement. The new and modified commands to
implement it are described in Command Reference Updates.
DHCP Options
Software Version 2.9.1 introduces the ability to create user-defined DHCP
options and apply them to policies.
DHCP allows the client to receive options from the DHCP server. Options
describe the network configuration, and various services that are available on
the network.
Previously, you could only add standard, pre-defined options to policies, using
the add dhcp policy command. Now, you can also add user-defined options,
using the new add dhcp option command.
Command Changes
The following table summarises the new and modified commands:
Command Reference Updates
This section describes each new command and the changed portions of
modified commands and output screens. For modified commands and output,
the new parameters, options, and fields are shown in bold.
add dhcp option
Syntax ADD DHCP OPTion=number POLIcy=name [NAMe=option-name]
TYpe={IP|SWItch|VALue|STRing|HexString|NONE}
VALue=value
Description This new command allows you to create a user-defined option for the specified
policy. User-defined options are outside the standard range of pre-defined
options that you can define using the add dhcp policy command.
It is possible to add a user-defined option with the same number as an existing
pre-defined option. If this situation occurs, the user-defined option takes
precedence - that is, it overrides but does not eliminate the pre-defined option.
