Explanation

DHCP Options are additional configuration parameters that a DHCP server delivers to clients alongside an IP address. For PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) booting, DHCP Option 66 (TFTP Server Name) specifies the IP address of the boot/imaging server, and Option 67 (Boot File Name) specifies the bootloader filename. A Scope defines the range of IP addresses the DHCP server can assign. A Reservation ties a specific IP to a client's MAC address. A Lease is the time period a client may use an assigned IP. Options are the correct mechanism for delivering the imaging server address to PXE clients.
