Which DHCP option has the highest precedence?

Server level options.
Class level options.
Scope level options.
Client-specific options.

The correct answer is: Class level options.

The option with the highest precedence in DHCP configurations is client-specific options. When DHCP options are being applied, the server first checks for options that have been set specifically for a particular client. These are tailored configurations based on unique identifiers such as the client's MAC address or a client identifier. Client-specific options allow for granular configuration that can cater to the needs of individual devices on the network. This can be particularly beneficial in environments where different clients require unique settings, such as different IP addresses or default gateways, even though they are all on the same DHCP scope. If client-specific options are not defined for a device, the DHCP server will then look to class level options, followed by scope level options, and finally server level options. This hierarchy ensures that the most specific and relevant configuration is applied to a client before falling back to broader settings, thus enhancing the flexibility and control of DHCP settings in a network environment.
