Note:

The DHCP Server Configuration program has one set of option definitions per DHCP server. Therefore, if you reformat an option, the new format is applied to any configuration file subsequently opened with the DHCP Server Configuration program for the server. User-defined PXE client option formats are shared by the DHCP and BINL servers and server configuration programs. PXE client options are stored as global PXEClient vendor options for the DHCP Server Configuration program.

Fields and other information include:

Available Options
Lists the formatted PXE client options (options with defined formats), including the architected options and any options for which you have defined formats. Sort the options by option number, alphabetically, or by used/unused options. An unused option is an option that has never been specified for any item in the configuration.

For more information about options, see the online book DHCP Server Administration.

Option Value
For a selected option, displays the option name, the level (scope) at which the option is defined, and the option value. A value might already exist at a global level, either for the server or for a group. The display changes depending on the type of option.
