Adding or Changing DHCP Options

DHCP options, such as the default gateway, DNS server, or WINS server assigned to DHCP clients, must be changed if an IP address changes.


To Add or Change a DHCP Option

1. Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click DHCP.

2. Expand IPv4 or IPv6, and then expand the scope you want to edit.

3. Right-click Scope Options, and then click Configure Options.


The Scope Options dialog box appears.

4. On the General tab, select the option you want to add or edit. (Figure) shows the Router option selected, which specifies the default gateway for clients. Use the controls in the Data Entry box to configure the value of that option.
