2) Verbose padding format
The padding contents for sub-options in the verbose padding format are as follows:

the client's request. Its format is shown in
Figure 5-10 Sub-option 1 in verbose padding format
In Figure 5-10, except that the VLAN ID field has a fixed length of 2 bytes, all the other padding
contents of sub-option 1 are length variable.
Sub-option 2: Padded with the MAC address of the DHCP relay agent interface or the MAC
address of the DHCP snooping device that received the client's request. It has the same format as
that in normal padding format, as shown in
Option 184
Option 184 is a reserved option, and parameters in the option can be defined as needed. The device
supports Option 184 carrying the voice related parameters, so a DHCP client with voice functions can
get an IP address along with specified voice parameters from the DHCP server.
Option 184 involves the following sub-options:
