<abstract>
<t>
   The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)  provides a
   framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP
   network.  Configuration parameters and other control information are
   carried in tagged data items that are stored in the &apos;options&apos; field
   of the DHCP message.  The data items themselves are also called
   &quot;options.&quot;
</t>
<t>
   This document specifies the current set of DHCP options.  Future
   options will be specified in separate RFCs.  The current list of
   valid options is also available in ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-
   notes/iana/assignments .
</t>
<t>
   All of the vendor information extensions defined in RFC 1497  may
   be used as DHCP options.  The definitions given in RFC 1497 are
   included in this document, which supersedes RFC 1497.  All of the
   DHCP options defined in this document, except for those specific to
   DHCP as defined in section 9, may be used as BOOTP vendor information
   extensions.
