I had to create a new option numbered 176. This option has
to do with IP telephony. I built the option as a GLOBAL
option. It is a string type option. At the global level, I
select this option for all scopes, like a DNS server type
option. Is this OK? If a client machine like a PC comes
up, it doesn't care that there is an option defined that
it has no knowledge about, is that correct? I've done some
release/renews and don't see any problems. Is this the
correct way to set up new non-standard options for DHCP to
hand out?
Thanks for any and all advise.
