Step 3: Click DHCP Generic Option drop down Menu and select "Create New DHCP Option Object"

Step 4: Now, you have to fill up all the necessary fields,

OPTION NAME is the name of the object, OPTION NUMBER chosen is "DHCP Option 121" with OPTION ARRAY check-box "ENABLED" and OPTION TYPE set as "ONE BYTE DATA".

Example: You have to Add two Routes:

1)Network is 10.56.0.0/16 and Gateway is 10.10.5.253 and 

2)Network is 10.58.0.0/16 and Gateway is 10.10.5.253

Now the syntax that we have to use in this scenario goes as follows:    

 

16;10;56;10;10;5;253;

16;10;58;10;10;5;253

OR

16;10;56;10;10;5;253;16;10;58;10;10;5;253

*It might form a continuous line but keep them separated by ";" (semi-colons), but separate each Route with a SPACE/ENTER.
