You must first enable vendor specific configuration (option 43) on the DHCP Server configuration page. Refer to Configuring the DHCP Server.

The DHCP server sends basic vendor specific parameters to devices using Option 43. Parameter definitions are unique to each vendor.

To Configure Vendor Specific Configuration

  1. Choose Network > DHCP Server > V4 > Vendor Specific Configuration.

  2. Configure settings using the information in the following table as a guide. When you have finished configuring settings, click Add to make your changes take effect.

    Vendor Specific Parameters

    Add Option Tag

    Refer to Configure Vendor Specific Option Tags.

    Vendor
