.SH NAME
|
|
dhcp-options - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol options
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The Dynamic Host Configuration protocol allows the client to receive
|
|
.B options
|
|
from the DHCP server describing the network configuration and various
|
|
services that are available on the network. When configuring
|
|
.B dhcpd(8)
|
|
or
|
|
.B dhclient(8) ,
|
|
options must often be declared. The syntax for declaring options,
|
|
and the names and formats of the options that can be declared, are
|
|
documented here.
|
|
.SH REFERENCE: OPTION STATEMENTS
|
|
.PP
|
|
DHCP \fIoption\fR statements always start with the \fIoption\fR
|
|
keyword, followed by an option name, followed by option data. The
|
|
option names and data formats are described below. It is not
|
|
necessary to exhaustively specify all DHCP options - only those
|
|
options which are needed by clients must be specified.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Option data comes in a variety of formats, as defined below:
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.B ip-address
|
|
data type can be entered either as an explicit IP
|
|
address (e.g., 239.254.197.10) or as a domain name (e.g.,
|
|
haagen.isc.org). When entering a domain name, be sure that that
|
|
domain name resolves to a single IP address.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.B int32
|
|
data type specifies a signed 32-bit integer. The
|
|
.B uint32
|
|
data type specifies an unsigned 32-bit integer. The
|
|
.B int16
|
|
and
|
|
.B uint16
|
|
data types specify signed and unsigned 16-bit integers. The
|
|
.B int8
|
|
and
|
|
.B uint8
|
|
data types specify signed and unsigned 8-bit integers.
|
|
Unsigned 8-bit integers are also sometimes referred to as octets.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.B string
|
|
data type specifies an NVT ASCII string, which must be
|
|
enclosed in double quotes - for example, to specify a domain-name
|
|
option, the syntax would be
|
|
.nf
|
|
.sp 1
|
|
option domain-name "isc.org";
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.B flag
|
|
data type specifies a boolean value. Booleans can be either true or
|
|
false (or on or off, if that makes more sense to you).
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.B data-string
|
|
data type specifies either an NVT ASCII string
|
|
enclosed in double quotes, or a series of octets specified in
|
|
hexadecimal, seperated by colons. For example:
|
|
.nf
|
|
.sp 1
|
|
option dhcp-client-identifier "CLIENT-FOO";
|
|
or
|
|
option dhcp-client-identifier 43:4c:49:45:54:2d:46:4f:4f;
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
The documentation for the various options mentioned below is taken
|
|
from the latest IETF draft document on DHCP options. Options which
|
|
are not listed by name may be defined by the name option-\fInnn\fR,
|
|
where \fInnn\fI is the decimal number of the option code. These
|
|
options may be followed either by a string, enclosed in quotes, or by
|
|
a series of octets, expressed as two-digit hexadecimal numbers seperated
|
|
by colons. For example:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
option option-133 "my-option-133-text";
|
|
option option-129 1:54:c9:2b:47;
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
Because dhcpd does not know the format of these undefined option codes,
|
|
no checking is done to ensure the correctness of the entered data.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The standard options are:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B option subnet-mask \fIip-address\fR\fB;\fR
|
|
.RS 0.25i
|
|
.PP
|
|
The subnet mask option specifies the client's subnet mask as per RFC
|
|
950. If no subnet mask option is provided anywhere in scope, as a
|
|
last resort dhcpd will use the subnet mask from the subnet declaration
|
|
for the network on which an address is being assigned. However,
|
|
.I any
|
|
subnet-mask option declaration that is in scope for the address being
|
|
assigned will override the subnet mask specified in the subnet
|
|
declaration.
