Configuring DHCP Client Vendor Options
You can configure the DHCP client functionality on the switch to include vendor
information in its DHCP requests (DHCP option 60). A DHCP server might use
vendor information to differentiate between clients based on the identified
hardware type or functionality.
To configure DHCP vendor option string:
STEP 1
Click
Administration
>
DHCP Options
in the navigation window.
In addition to the vendor option and string, the page displays the format that the
switch uses when obtaining its timezone information from a DHCP server and
indicates whether such information has been received. To configure the switch to
acquire its timezone from DHCP, see
Time Settings
.
STEP 2
Select Enable for the Vendor Option.
STEP 3
Enter a value in the Vendor Option String text box.
STEP 4
Click
Apply
. Your changes are saved to the Running Configuration.
