Description of DHCP Options Used for

Extreme Networks Auto Configuration

The following vendor options are used in DHCP:

• vendor-class-identifier (option 60)

• vendor-encapsulated-options (option 43)

Vendor-class identifier (option 60): The vendor-class

identifier is included by the DHCP clients to identify the

vendor type and the model by the DHCP server. ExtremeXOS

switches use the "Switch-type" as the vendor-class identifier

(option 60). This option has to be configured in DHCP

servers to provide the required attributes based on the

specific hardware or platform type.

Vendor-encapsulated options (option 43): The vendor-

encapsulated options can contain the either a single vendor-

specific value or one or more vendor-specific sub options.

ExtremeXOS allocates and uses the following vendor-specific

sub-options:

• Option 100: TFTP Server IP Address

• Option 101: Configuration Filename (.xsf or .cfg

extension)

• Option 102: SNMP Trap Receiver IP Address
