    2. Add Option Objects

  1. Type a name for the option in the Option Name field.
  2. From Option Number, select the option number that corresponds to your DHCP option. For a list of option numbers, names, and descriptions, refer to RFC-Defined DHCP Option Numbers.

Available options differ depending on whether you are configuring an IPv4 or IPv6 option.

  1. If:
    • Only one option type is available, for example, for Option Number 2 (Time Offset), Option Array is dimmed. Go to Step 7.
    • There are multiple option types available, for example, for 77 (User Class Information), Option Type becomes available and lists allowable types of the option, such as IP Address, Two-Byte Data, String, or Boolean. Select the option type.
  2. Type the option value, for example, an IP address, in the Option Value field. If Option Array is checked, multiple values can be entered, separated by a semi-colon (;).
  3. Click OK. The object displays in the Option Objects table.
