By configuring self-defined DHCP options, you can

Define new DHCP options. New configuration options will come out with DHCP development. To
support these new options, you can add them into the attribute list of the DHCP server.

Define existing DHCP options. Vendors use Option 43 to define options that have no unified

definitions in RFC 2132. The self-defined DHCP option enables DHCP clients to obtain
vendor-specific information.

Extend existing DHCP options. When the current DHCP options cannot meet the customers’
requirements (for example, you cannot use the dns-list command to configure more than eight DNS

server addresses), you can configure a self-defined option for extension.

Follow these steps to configure a self-defined DHCP option in the DHCP address pool:
