Dhcp Supported Options - Enterasys Matrix DFE-Gold Series Configuration Manual

DHCP Overview
To configure DHCP on the Enterasys Matrix‐N or standalone device, you must configure an IP
address pool, client parameters, and optional static IP address for a specified scope. Where several
subnets are accessed through a single port, you can also define multiple scopes on the same
interface and group the scopes together into a superscope.

1. Configuring a DHCP local pool for a subnet (required)

3. Configuring a DHCP pool (required)
4. Configuring manual bindings of IP addresses and client hardware addresses (optional)

6. Monitoring and maintaining DHCP server services (optional)

DHCP Supported Options

Table 20‐1 lists the DHCP server option names and codes supported by the firmware. All options
specified in Table
commonly‐used options may also be configured using dedicated commands: "domain‐name" on
page 20‐9, "dns‐server" on page 20‐10, "netbios‐name‐server" on page 20‐11, "netbios‐node‐type"
on page 20‐11, and "default‐router" on page 20‐12.
Except where noted, all options are defined in RFC‐2132. In addition, the site‐specific option codes
designated by RFC‐2132 (128‐254) may be used to define options for use within a site or an
organization. Some vendors have made use of site‐specific options to configure their product
features.
