For options\n" " which allow multiple addresses,\n" " --dhcp-option must be repeated.\n" " DOMAIN name : Set DNS suffix\n" " DNS addr : Set domain name server address(es)\n" " NTP : Set NTP server address(es)\n" " NBDD : Set NBDD server address(es)\n" " WINS addr : Set WINS server address(es)\n" " NBT type : Set NetBIOS over TCP/IP Node type\n" " 1: B, 2: P, 4: M, 8: H\n" " NBS id : Set NetBIOS scope ID\n" " DISABLE-NBT : Disable Netbios-over-TCP/IP.\n" (NTP is encoded as DHCP option 42) JJK ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
