4. Use the spinner control to select a DHCPv6 Server Preference from 0 - 255.
   The default value is 0.
5. Set the following DHCPv6 Option configuration parameters:

   Name	Enter a name to associate with the new DHCP option. This name should describe the new option's function.
   Code	Use the spinner control to specify a DHCP option code (from 0 - 254) for the option. Only one code for each DHCPv6 option of the same value can be used in each DHCPv6 server policy.
   Type	Use the drop-down menu to select the DHCP option type for the new option. The option can be either ASCII, which sends an ASCII compliant string to the client, ipv6 which sends an IPv6 compatible address to the client or Hex String which sends a hexadecimal string to the client.
   Vendor	Use the spinner control to specify the numeric Vendor ID for the new option. Each vendor should have a unique vendor ID used by the DHCPv6 server to issue vendor specific DHCP options.
