300 APPENDIX A: CONFIGURING OPTION 184 ON A WINDOWS 2000 DHCP SERVER
To help you configure option 184, this appendix includes an example of
how to configure option 184 on a Windows 2000 server that has been
configured to run DHCP server software. It covers these topics:
Creating Option 184
Editing Option 184 Values
Activating Option 184
The information in this appendix pertains only to a Windows 2000 server.
The configuration instructions differ for other DHCP servers. See the
documentation for your DHCP server for instructions.
This appendix describes only the configuration of option 184, not how to
install or perform basic configuration of the Windows 2000 server.

184
If you are configuring more than one suboption for Option 184, the first
subfield must be the NCP IP Address for backward compatibility.
If you configure multiple suboptions, 3Com recommends that you
configure them in order of suboption number. You can omit one or more
suboptions from the configuration. For example, if you decide not to
configure suboption 2, 3Com recommends that you configure
suboptions 1, 3, and 4, in that order.
