DHCP options

DHCP options are additional settings that a DHCP server can provide to devices on a network. Think of them as extra instructions or details beyond just giving an IP address—such as specifying the default website, network timing, or network security settings. These options help devices communicate properly and access necessary services smoothly. While the core function is to assign addresses, DHCP options fine-tune network configurations, ensuring devices have all the information they need to operate efficiently within the network environment.
