Using DHCP option 43 requires more configuration than DHCP option 17, but it
provides a richer environment and provides more configuration options. QLogic
recommends that customers use DHCP option 43 when performing dynamic
iSCSI boot configuration.
Configuring the DHCP Server
Configure the DHCP server to support option 17 or option 43.
NOTE
If using Option 43, you also need to configure Option 60. The value of
Option 60 should match the DHCP Vendor ID value. The DHCP Vendor ID
value is QLGC ISAN, as shown in General Parameters of the iSCSI Boot
Configuration menu.
