Explanation

DHCP Options are additional configuration parameters that a DHCP server can deliver to clients alongside an IP address. Key options include Option 3 (Default Gateway) and Option 6 (DNS Server). A Scope (option C) defines the pool of IP addresses available for assignment but does not itself specify DNS or gateway settings. Reservations (option A) bind a specific IP to a specific MAC address. Leases (option B) define the duration for which an IP is assigned. It is the DHCP Options configuration within a scope that enables the server to push gateway and DNS information to clients automatically.
