dnsmasq dhcp options

computing: software: dnsmasq: dhcp options

Options
The option  numbers are specified in RFC 2132 and subsequent RFCs.

Usage:
 * command line:
 * --dhcp-option= number, value
 * --dhcp-option=option: name, value
 * dnsmasq.conf:
 * dhcp-option= number, value
 * dhcp-option=option: name, value


 * The "option: name " format does not seem to work, at least in dnsmasq version 2.33. It may be fixed in later versions, or perhaps the syntax is more finicky than is indicated in the documentation.
 * The special address 0.0.0.0 is taken to mean "the address of the machine running dnsmasq".
 * Data types allowed are comma separated dotted-quad IP addresses, a decimal number, colon-separated hex digits and a text string.
 * If the optional network-ids are given then this option is only sent when all the network-ids are matched.
