Usage Guidelines

This command configures the DHCP options that can be returned to the DHCP client. For the default-gateway option you are only allowed to configure an IP address that is in the VLAN's network range. For the other options, any IP address is allowed.

The options below represent the following BOOTP options specified by RFC2132:

default-gateway—Router option, number 3.
dns-server—Domain Name Server option, number 6.
wins-server—NetBIOS over TCP/IP Name Server option, number 44.

Example

The following command configures the DHCP server to return the IP address 10.10.20.8 as the router option:

configure vlan <name> dhcp-options default-gateway 10.10.20.8
