Problem about dhcp option 125

[Glenn Satchell]

Hi

There was a similar post recently.

Check out the dhcp-options man page in the section titled "DEFINING NEW 
OPTIONS".

The option space is for encapsulating one or more options inside another 
option. So that's something different to what you require.

You must define how the option is to encode the value, typically this is 
done in the global scope, and must be before a value is assigned.

option option-125 code 125 = string;

Then you can assign a value in various scopes as required:

option option-125 "openbsd";

The name of the option can be any string you like, as the option number 
is what is encoded in the dhcp packets.
