Hi Richard,<br>
<br>
The definitive answer is in the dhcp-options man page:<br>
<br>
REFERENCE: OPTION STATEMENTS<br>
<br>
The text data type specifies an NVT ASCII string, which must be<br>
enclosed in double quotes - for example, to specify a root-path option,<br>
the syntax would be<br>
option root-path "10.0.1.4:/var/tmp/rootfs";<br>
<br>
and further down that same document<br>
<br>
TEXT<br>
<br>
option new-name code new-code = text ;<br>
<br>
An option whose type is text will encode an ASCII text string.<br>
For example:<br>
<br>
option sql-default-connection-name code 194 = text;<br>
option sql-default-connection-name "PRODZA";<br>
<br>
regards,<br>
Glenn<br>
