DHCP Option
A SonicWall network security appliance includes a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to distribute IP addresses, subnet masks, gateway addresses, and DNS server addresses to your network clients. Network > DHCP Server includes settings for configuring the appliance’s DHCP server, Lease Scopes, and DHCP Leases.
The SonicWall DHCP server Option 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 predefined, 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. For more information on RFC-Defined DHCP Option Numbers, see:
- IPv4 Options: RFC-Defined DHCPV4 Option Numbers
- IPv6 Options: RFC-Defined DHCPV6 Option Numbers
