O CONFIGURE DHCP OPTIONS
There are two types of DHCP options - Global Options and Pool Options. The
global options are applicable to all the pools in the VRF it is configured in. In case
the option is re-specified in a pool, then the pool-specific (per-pool) option
overrides the global option for that pool. The global options need to be configured
in the Configuration Mode, whereas, the pool options need to be configured in
the DHCP Pool Configuration Mode.
Whenever a DHCP request with a parameter list comes, first the option will be
searched in the pool to which the request maps to, and then if it is not configured
there, it is looked for in the list of global options for the VRF the pool is configured
in. If it is not configured in either places, then it is not supplied.
Note: For a detailed reference on DHCP options, refer RFC 2132.
