Most commonly used DHCP servers such as Microsoft DHCP and ISC DHCP servers support
vendor class DHCP option spaces and mapping of those option spaces to option 60. While
you can achieve encapsulating TLVs in option 43 by hard coding the DHCP option 43 value,
Ruckus Wireless recommends using vendor class option spaces - especially when you have
more than one vendor type on the network and need "option 43" to be supported for different
vendor type DHCP clients.
The following example describes how you can encapsulate option 43 using DHCP vendor class
option spaces to provide two ZoneDirector IP addresses: 192.168.0.10 and
192.168.0.20.
Configure Vendor Class Identifier and Vendor Specific Info sub-
options on Microsoft DHCP server
Configure vendor class for Ruckus Wireless Access Points
1. In the Server Manager window, right-click the IPv4 icon, and choose Define Vendor Classes
from the menu.
2. In the DHCP Vendor Classes dialogue, click Add to create a new vendor class.
3. Enter the value to describe the option class/space, (e.g., RuckusWirelessAP). Optionally,
you can also enter a description.
4. Add the VCI string in the ASCII field and click OK. The new vendor class is created and
appears in the DHCP Vendor Class dialogue list. Click Close to close the dialogue.
5. Right-click the newly created vendor class and select Set Predefined Options...
6. Predefine the ZoneDirector sub-option type for the newly created vendor class. This section
defines the code and format of the sub-option (code 03 for ZoneDirector and comma
separated IP addresses in ASCII text string).
7. Configure the option with a value either at the server level, scope level or at Reservation,
just like any other DHCP option, using Configure Options > Advanced.
