Commonly used options
After you set basic TCP/IP configuration settings (such as IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway) for clients, most clients also need the
DHCP server to provide other information through DHCP options. The most
common of these include the following:
Routers. A preferred list of IP addresses for routers on the same subnet as
DHCP clients. The client can then contact these routers as needed to forward
IP packets destined for remote hosts.
DNS servers. IP addresses for DNS name servers that DHCP clients can
contact and use to resolve a domain host name query.
DNS domain. Specifies the domain name that DHCP clients should use when
resolving unqualified names during DNS domain name resolution.
WINS node type. A preferred NetBIOS name resolution method for the DHCP
client to use (such as b-node for broadcast only or h-node for a hybrid of
point-to-point and broadcast methods).
WINS server. IP addresses of primary and secondary WINS servers for the
DHCP client to use.
