    DHCP Option 43 is limited to one AP type per DHCP pool. You must configure a separate DHCP pool for each AP type. The Cisco Catalyst 9124AX Series Outdoor AP uses the type-length-value (TLV) format for DHCP Option 43. DHCP servers must be programmed to return the option based on the AP DHCP Vendor Class Identifier (VCI) string (DHCP Option 43).
