DHCP Options: DHCP options allow additional configuration parameters, such as the address of a TFTP server, to be provided to clients during the DHCP lease process. This is essential for VoIP phones to locate the server for configuration files.
Exclusions (A): Prevents certain IP addresses from being assigned by DHCP but does not direct devices to servers.
Lease time (B): Determines how long an IP address is assigned but does not impact TFTP settings.
Scope (D): Defines a range of IP addresses but does not include additional server information.
