According to the original DHCPv4 specification RFC 2131, the DHCPv4 server was not allowed to send client ID options in its response to clients. This occasionally gave rise to problems that were resolved with RFC 6842, the successor to RFC 2131. According to this update, the response from a DHCPv4 server must contain the client ID if the client sent this in its request. Since there may be older clients unable to cope with this changed behavior, you can re-enable the previous behavior here.
