The workflow applies the DHCP options of the IPv4 network template to the DHCP range. Once the template has been applied, a window appears with a summary of the results. The window displays whether the application was successful, the number of DHCP options that exist in the IPv4 network template, the number of DHCP options that were successfully applied, and the number of DHCP options that failed to apply.
