Note

Note

The switch follows inheritance and precedence rules for configured DHCP Server options.

The switch process the DHCP options in the following order of precedence:

  1. host—Host configuration applies only to a specific host.
  2. DHCP subnet—DHCP subnet options apply to only those clients within the specified subnet.
  3. vendor class—Vendor class options apply to only those clients with a string that matches a specified vendor class identifier (VCI).

DHCP Server builds a cumulative configuration from all scopes but applies precedence rules in instances of conflict.
