Dhclient supports the supersede option through which locally set value/values can supersede DHCP server-provided values in the lease for a given option. This is achieved by adding the supersede-option and value pair in dhclient.conf. In case of the BIG-IP system, the modifications in dhclient.conf are overwritten by MCPD, and MCPD does not support specifying supersede-options.
The system overwrites the modifications. Cannot supersede DHCP server-provided values in the lease for a given option.
-- BIG-IP configured with DHCP enabled. -- Attempt to supersede DHCP server-provided values in the lease for a given option by adding the supersede-option and value pair in dhclient.conf.
None.
The BIG-IP system now supports the standard supersede options, so you can direct dhclient to use locally-configured values over the ones provided by the DHCP server for a given option.
