public class VendorClassIdentifier
extends StringOption

This option is used by DHCP clients to optionally identify the vendor type and configuration of a DHCP client. The information is a string of n octets, interpreted by servers. Vendors may choose to define specific vendor class identifiers to convey particular configuration or other identification information about a client. For example, the identifier may encode the client's hardware configuration. Servers not equipped to interpret the class-specific information sent by a client MUST ignore it (although it may be reported). Servers that respond SHOULD only use option 43 to return the vendor-specific information to the client. The code for this option is 60, and its minimum length is 1.
