Article Summary

These tables--showing which standard options are supported in the ISC DHCP server and Kea DHCP server --may be helpful in planning migration from one server to the other. If there is any doubt, the Kea User Guide includes two tables: supported standard options for DHCPv4 and DHCPv6. The table below is meant to be a super-set of that.
