DHCP server offer Options 66, 67, and 43

Options 66, 67, and 43 are supported for indicating the location of the provisioning file. If both Options 66 and 67 are present in the DHCP offer, they take precedence over Option 43.

Option 66 contains the server URL or IP address, and Option 67 contains the URL of the provisioning file location.

Options 66 and 67 are meant for use by PXE TFTP, but are also used for HTTP and FTP. If an offer arrives with Options 66 and 67, Option 66 should resolve the server IP address and Option 67 should resolve the file location. Option 66 can be omitted by the provider, in which case Option 67 is used for both the server IP address and provider file URL. If an offer arrives with Option 67 only, it should resolve both the server IP address and file URL.

The auto-provisioning process distinguishes the host part of the URL and can resolve it using DHCP DNS.
