Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure the DHCPv6 Vendor ID option (option 16) to be included in DHCPv6 requests from clients before forwarding them to a DHCPv6 server. Option 16 provides the server with information about the vendor that manufactured the hardware on which the DHCP client is running. When configured, the switch will overwrite any existing option 16 information sent by clients in the DHCPv6 packets.

Option 16 is the DHCPv6 equivalent of the vendor-id sub-option of DHCP option 82.
