DHCP options (for Administrator)
DHCP options configuration is the preferred method for rolling out numerous thin
clients because it requires the least amount of work. The administrator only needs to
unbox the client, connect all the cables and power the device on. If the administrator
updates the client locally, they would need to configure each client individually, which
requires more effort.
