Technical Tip: DHCP client options configuration

[akamath]

Description
When an interface is in DHCP addressing mode, DHCP client options can be configured in the CLI.
For example, a vendor class identifier (usually DCHP client option 60) can be specified so that a request can be matched by a specific DHCP offer.

This article describes how to configure it.

Solution
Multiple options can be configured, but any options not recognized by the DHCP server are discarded.
To configure client option 60 - vendor class identifier.

# config system interface
    edit port1
        set vdom vdom1
        set mode dhcp
        # config client-options
            edit 1
                set code 60
                set type hex
                set value aabbccdd
            next
        end
        set type physical
        set snmp-index 4
    next
end
