Some parameters must start with the option keyword and are referred to as
options. Options configure DHCP options; whereas, parameters configure values
that are not optional or control how the DHCP server behaves.
Parameters (including options) declared before a section enclosed in curly
brackets {} are considered global parameters. Global parameters apply to all the
sections below it.
Note: If you change the configuration file, the changes will not take effect until you restart
the DHCP daemon with the command service dhcpd restart.
The following is the example of DHCP configuration on a Red Hat Linux Server.
