Unused Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Option Codes

Overview

RFC 3679, “Unused Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Option Codes”, is an Informational document published in January 2004 by R. Droms. It has since been updated by RFC 8910. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

Prior to the publication of RFC 2489 (which was updated by RFC 2939), several option codes were assigned to proposed Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) options that were subsequently never used. This document lists those unused option codes and directs IANA to make these option codes available for assignment to other DHCP options in the future. The document also lists several option codes that are not currently documented in an RFC but should not be made available for reassignment to future DHCP options.
