public abstract class StringOption
extends DhcpOption

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network. Configuration parameters and other control information are carried in tagged data items that are stored in the 'options' field of the DHCP message. The data items themselves are also called "options." This abstract base class is for options that carry a string.

Overrides:

setData in class DhcpOption

Description copied from class: DhcpOption

Get the data (wire format) into a byte array. Subclasses must provide an implementation which serializes the parsed data back into a byte array if they override DhcpOption.setData(byte[]).

Overrides:

getData in class DhcpOption

Returns:

byte[]

setString

public void setString(String string)
