How to Create DHCP Options (Command Line)

1. Become superuser on the DHCP server system.

2. Type a command using the following format:

   # dhtadm -A -s option-name-d 'category,code,data-type,granularity,maximum'

   option-name

   is an alphanumeric string of eight characters or less.

   category

   is Site, Extend, or Vendor=list-of-classes, and list-of-classes is a space-separated list of vendor client classes to which the option applies. See Table 11-9 for a information about determining the vendor client class.

   code

   is a numeric value appropriate to the option category, as explained in Table 11-9

   data-type

   is ASCII, IP, BOOLEAN, NUMBER, or OCTET

   granularity

   is a non-negative number, as explained in Table 11-9

   maximum

   is a non-negative number, as explained in Table 11-9

   The following two commands are two examples:

   # dhtadm -A -s NewOpt -d 'Site,130,NUMBER,1,1' # dhtadm -A -s NewServ -d 'Vendor=SUNW.Ultra-1 SUNW.SPARCstation10,200,IP,1,1'
