Using Scope Options

Each time a DHCP client initializes, it requests an IP address and subnet mask from the DHCP server. The server is configured with one or more scopes, each containing a range of valid IP addresses, the subnet mask for the internetwork, and additional optional DHCP client configuration information, known as scope options. For example, the default gateway for a subnet is often configured as a scope option for a given subnet. If any scope options are configured on the DHCP server, these are given to the DHCP client along with the IP address and subnet mask to be used by the client. The common scope options supported by Microsoft DHCP clients are shown in Table 6.1.

The Scope Options Configuration dialog box in the DHCP Manager application contains many other scope options (such as Time server) that can be sent to the clients along with the other TCP/IP configuration information. The Microsoft DHCP clients, however, ignore and discard all the scope option information except for the options listed in Table 6.1.

It is possible to lease addresses to non-Microsoft clients, in this case you may have to add a client reservation. Then you will be able configure options for that single client.
