For example, for model 8000i, the identifier value would be the following:
The system administrator can use the Vendor Class Identifier to send the BluStar a customized Server Configuration in
Option 43 (vendor-specific information).
Using Option 43 to Customize the BluStar 8000i
A system administrator can customize the BluStar 8000i in the network by enabling sub-option 2 to send configuration
server information using one of the following formats:
Using Option 12 Hostname
If you set the BluStar 8000i to use DHCP Option 12, it automatically sends this option to the configuration server. This
option specifies the hostname (name of the client). The name may or may not be qualified with the local domain name
(based on RFC 2132). See RFC 1035 for character set restrictions.
An administrator can change the “
hostname
” parameter for the DHCP Option 12 via the configuration files.
To Configure DHCP Option 12 Hostname:
Use the following procedure to configure DHCP Option 12 Hostname on the BluStar 8000i.
Using Option 77 User Class
DHCP Option 77 User Class is sent in DHCP request packets from the BluStar 8000i to the configuration server. Option 77
defines specific User Class identifiers to convey information about a BluStar 8000i’s software configuration or about its
user's preferences.

Note:
If the BluStar 8000i receives the server configuration from both DHCP Option 66 and Option 43, Option 43 takes prec-
edence over Option 66.

Notes:
•
The hostname of [<model><MAC address>] automatically populates the field on initial startup of the BluStar 8000i.
•
If the configuration server sends the hostname back to the BluStar 8000i in a DHCP Reply Packet, the hostname is
ignored.
