To add a DHCP custom option:

The following steps are to define DHCP custom options:

  1. From the configuration drop-down menu, select a configuration.

  3. Click the DHCP Settings tab.
  4. Under DHCP Custom Option Definition, click New.
  5. Under General, define the custom option:
    • Option Code—select the DHCP option code number.
    • Name—type a descriptive name for the custom option.
    • Type—select a option type from the drop-down menu.
