DHCP Scope
DHCP scope is a well-defined term in DHCP arena.
It is used to define a policy for giving out IP addresses and other options
to host on a specific IP subnet. In DCNM, we use the DCHP scope to distribute
IPv4 address, PYTHON bootscript, (or other supported protocol + access
credential + server, for example; http://<dcnm-server-ip>/scripts)
which stores the bootscript.
From the menu bar, select Config>Power-On
