Specifying a server's IP address for the DHCP client
Some DHCP clients need to obtain configuration information from a server, such as a TFTP server. You
can specify the IP address of that server in each address pool of the DHCP server. The DHCP server sends
the server's IP address to DHCP clients along with other configuration information.

Configuring self-defined DHCP options
CAUTION:
Be careful when configuring self-defined DHCP options because such configuration might affect DHCP
operation.
By configuring self-defined DHCP options, you can:
• Define new DHCP options. New configuration options come out with DHCP development. To
support these new options, you can add them into the attribute list of the DHCP server.
• Define existing DHCP options. Vendors use Option 43 to define options that have no unified
definitions in RFC 2132. The self-defined DHCP option enables DHCP clients to obtain
vendor-specific information.
• Extend existing DHCP options. When the current DHCP options cannot meet the customers'
requirements (for example, you cannot use the dns-list command to configure more than eight DNS
server addresses), you can configure a self-defined option for extension.
