# Configure DHCP Options

Setting DHCP options is possible on Managed Private Networks. It is possible to update the options after the initial creation of the Managed Private Network.

The below options are supported:

- [DHCP Option 3] Default Gateway (Router): Sets the IP of the default gateway for external traffic.
- [DHCP Option 6] DNS Servers: Specifies DNS server IPs for domain name resolution.
- [DHCP Option 42] NTP Servers: Defines IPs for time synchronization with NTP servers.
- [DHCP Option 119] Domain Search List: Supplies a list of domain suffixes supporting multi-domain environments (limited to 255 octets).

Setting and updating DHCP options is only supported on the CLI and API.
