Code:

option vlan-id                          code 100 = unsigned integer 16;
option system-name                     code 101 = text;
option oam-master                      code 102 = ip-address;
option static-vlan-id-list             code 103 = array of unsigned integer 16;
option is-snmp-trap-receiver           code 104 = ip-address;

These options will be used in a custom network script (one in /etc/init.d/boot.d
), after Linux finished loading vmlinuz and initrd.

What you should be doing is issuing a separate DHCP request from within Linux. You need to do this anyway; you can't use the IP address from iPXE indefinitely because your DHCP lease will eventually expire.
