 | | The value for the subnet address is determined by taking any IP address on the subnet and ANDing that address with the subnet mask (i.e., the network and subnet bits are left alone and the remaining (address) bits are set to zero). |
 | | This determines a single subnet, and when allocating an IP address, all of the other related subnets on the same link will also be considered in the same way as currently specified for the processing of the giaddr in [RFC 2131, Section 4.3.1, first group of bullets, bullet 4]. |
 | | When the DHCP server is allocating an address and this sub-option is present, then the DHCP server MUST allocate the address on either: o the subnet specified in the link-selection sub-option, or; o a subnet on the same link (also known as a network segment) as the subnet specified by the link-selection sub-option. |
