Questions tagged [dhcp-option]

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (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".

The primary reference is defined in:

  • RFC 2132 - DHCP Options and BOOTP Vendor Extensions
