| Vendor Class Identifier (VCI) | Sent from client to server. Vendor type
and configuration of a DHCP client. The DHCP client sends option
code 60 in a DHCPREQUEST to the DHCP server. When the server receives option 60,
it sees the VCI, finds the matching VCI in its own table, and then
it returns option 43 with the value (that corresponds to the VCI),
thereby relaying vendor-specific information to the correct client.
Both the client and server have knowledge of the VCI. |
