15.1.2 Configuring the Vendor Class Identifier

The DHCP Vendor Class table lets you configure up to 10 Vendor Class Identifier (VCI)
names (DHCP Option 60). When the table is configured, the device's DHCP server
responds only to DHCPDiscover requests that contain Option 60 and that match one of the
DHCP VCIs configured in the table. If you have not configured any entries in the table, the
DHCP server responds to all DHCPDiscover requests, regardless of the VCI.
The VCI is a string that identifies the vendor and functionality of a DHCP client to the
DHCP server. For example, Option 60 can show the unique type of hardware (e.g.,
"AudioCodes 440HD IP Phone") or firmware of the DHCP client. The DHCP server can
then differentiate between DHCP clients and process their requests accordingly.
The following procedure describes how to configure the DHCP VCIs through the Web
interface. You can also configure it through ini file (DhcpVendorClass) or CLI (configure
network > dhcp-server vendor-class).


1. Open the DHCP Servers table (see ''Configuring the DHCP Server'' on page 221).
2. Select the row of the desired DHCP server for which you want to configure VCIs, and
then click the DHCP Vendor Class link located below the table; the DHCP Vendor
Class table opens.
