    Description

    The SonicWall DHCP server options feature provides support for DHCP options, also known as vendor extensions, as defined primarily in RFCs 2131 and 2132. DHCP options allow users to specify additional DHCP parameters in the form of pre-defined, vendor-specific information that is stored in the options field of a DHCP message. When the DHCP message is sent to clients on the network, it provides vendor-specific configuration and service information.

    "The time offset field specifies the offset of the client's subnet in seconds from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).  The offset is expressed as a two's complement 32-bit integer.  A positive offset indicates a location east of the zero meridian and a negative offset indicates a location west of the zero meridian. The code for the time offset option is 2, and its length is 4 octets"  RFC 2132.

    The following table gives the conversion of the different time zones around the world. The hexadecimal values are set to have a fixed length of 32 bits as specified in Option 2 of the DHCP RFC 2132. SonicWall does not accept negative numbers for the time offset, Hex must be used.
