Configuring Extended DHCP Options
The Wireless Edge Services zl Module allows you to configure extended DHCP
options for both network and host pools. For example, in addition to assigning
clients a DNS server address, you might want to assign them a Network Time
Protocol (NTP) server address. An NTP server address is defined through
option 42.
To configure extended DHCP options, you first define globally which extended
option or options you will use. Next, you configure values for these options
in particular network or host pools.
Setting Up Global Options
To define the extended options to be used by your DHCP server, complete
these steps:
1. Select Network Setup > DHCP Server > Configuration.
2. Click the Options Setup button. The Global Options screen is displayed.

3. Click the Insert button.
4. Enter an alphanumeric string in the Name field to identify the option.
The string cannot include special characters or spaces. If you include such
characters, you will receive this message when you click the OK button:
Failed to save - Option name has invalid characters
Some option names are reserved for DHCP options automatically enabled
on the Wireless Edge Services zl Module. You cannot use the names listed
in Table 6-1.
