DHCP Client Request Values
Value
Client ID
(continued)
Class ID
A DHCP or Bootp server compares the information provided
in the client request to a database to select a defined
configuration, called a profile." When the server receives a
request from a client, the server determines if the client has
previously received configuration information and an
address.
Table 2 1 (Continued)
Description
This value can be used in place of the MAC
address to identify a client configuration so
that the same configuration is issued to a
client regardless of the MAC address. (This
feature supports the changing of the
hardware without reconfiguring the server
or assigning the 6400 computer client a
different IP address.)
By default, the DHCP client uses a client
ID based on the MAC address.
A string that identifies the class to which
the client belongs. A system administrator
can choose to group sets of 6400 computers
into separate classes, and return different
configuration information for each separate
class.
Examples of a class would be all 6400
computers, or all machines belonging to a
given department.
