Granular Inheritance of DHCP Options

After configuring the DHCP options in an object, you can configure the inheritance for each item individually. The object can be a DHCP Config Profile (or server object), Fixed Address, IP Space, Address Space, Address Range, or Subnet. This provides flexibility in modifying the DHCP options for each item within the object. 

To modify DHCP options for each item within an object, complete the following:

1. From the Infoblox Portal, click Configure > Networking > IPAM/DHCP > <Object_Name>. 
   

2. Click☰> Edit or select the respective record and click the Edit button to modify the object.

3. Navigate to the DHCP Options pane.

4. You can Inherit, Override, or Block each entry independently by configuring the following options:

   • Block all inherited options: Clear the check box to configure inheritance granularly. Select the check box to block the inheritance of DHCP options from its parent.
     • Inherit: Inherits the value from the Global DHCP Configuration or its parent. 
     • Override: Choose to override the inherited value and specify a custom value.
     • Block: Choose this option to block the DHCP option inherited from its parent.

5. Modify the details and click Save & Close to save the record or click Cancel to cancel.
