As with the classic DHCP, on startup an agent receives its configuration data
according to the "BOOTP/DHCP process" flow chart
While the system configuration is based on the classic DHCP protocol on the

Option 82 is based on the network topology. This procedure gives you the
option of assigning the same IP address to any device which is connected to
a particular location (port of a device) on the LAN.
