Vendor Class and User Class Identifier on the DHCP Client

The DHCP client in the device can supplement the transmitted DHCP requests with additional information to simplify the recognition of request within the network.

• The vendor class ID (DHCP option 60) shows the type of device. The vendor class ID is always transmitted.
• The user class identifier (DHCP option 77) displays a user-defined string, which can be entered under Setup/DHCP or in LANconfig in the configuration section IPv4 > DHCPv4 in the User class ID field (default: blank). The user class ID is only transmitted when the user has configured a value.
