Configuring DHCP Generic Options for DHCP Lease Scopes

This section provides configuration tasks for DHCP generic options for lease scopes.

Before generic options for a DHCP lease scope can be configured, a static or dynamic DHCP server lease scope must be created.

The RFC-Defined DHCP Option Numbers provides a list of DHCP options by RFC-assigned option number.
