Using Default Options
The extended DHCP local server provides a minimal configuration
to the DHCP client if the client does not have DHCP option 55 configured.
The server provides the subnet mask of the address-assignment pool
that is selected for the client. In addition to the subnet mask, the
server provides the following values to the client if the information
is configured in the selected address-assignment pool:
-
router—A router located on the client’s
subnet. This statement is the equivalent of DHCP option 3.
-
domain name—The name of the domain in which
the client searches for a DHCP server host. This is the default domain
name that is appended to hostnames that are not fully qualified. This
is equivalent to DHCP option 15.
-
domain name server—A Domain Name System
(DNS) name server that is available to the client to resolve hostname-to-client
mappings. This is equivalent to DHCP option 6.
