Chapter11 Configuring DHCP
Configuring a DHCP Server
Options that Return a Hexadecimal Value
Note The ASA does not verify that the option type and value that you provide match the expected type and
value for the option code as defined in RFC 2132. For example, you can enter the dhcpd option 46 ascii
hello command, and the ASA accepts the configuration, although option 46 is defined in RFC 2132 to
expect a single-digit, hexadecimal value. For more information about the option codes and their
associated types and expected values, see RFC 2132.
Table11-2 shows the DHCP options that are not supported by the dhcpd option command.
DHCP options 3, 66, and 150 are used to configure Cisco IP Phones. For more information about
configuring these options, see the “Using Cisco IP Phones with a DHCP Server” section on page11-6.
