Option Number:Must match the DHCP standard or vendor spec (1-254).
Name:A user-defined label for clarity (e.g., "TFTP-Server").
Data Type:(e.g., string, IP).
Naming Freedom:The "name" is an internal NIOS identifier, not tied to DHCP packets or vendor standards—it’s for admin convenience. The option number and value align with vendor needs (e.g., Option 66 for TFTP), but the name can be arbitrary (e.g., "MyTFTP" vs. "VendorTFTP").
Options:
A/B:Vendor definitions apply to option numbers/values, not names. Case sensitivity is irrelevant. Incorrect.
C:No requirement to include the vendor name—it’s optional. Incorrect.
D:Admins can choose any descriptive name, making management intuitive. Correct.
Practical Example:In an INE lab, you’d define a custom option "VoIPConfig" (Option 66, string), assign it to a range, and troubleshoot client reception, testing DHCP flexibility.References:Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide – Custom DHCP Options; INE Course Content: NIOS DDI DHCP Troubleshooting.
