Description

Configure the match criteria when you use the DHCP vendor class identifier option (option 60) in DHCP client packets to forward client traffic to specific DHCP servers. The extended DHCP relay agent compares the option 60 vendor-specific strings received in DHCP client packets against the match criteria that you specify. If there is a match, you can define certain actions for the associated DHCP client packets.

The vendor-option statement enables you to specify either an exact, left-to-right match (with the equals statement) or a partial match (with the starts-with statement), and configure either an ASCII match string (with the ascii statement) or a hexadecimal match string (with the hexadecimal statement).

You can configure an unlimited number of match strings. Match strings do not support the use of wildcard attributes.

Options

equals—Exact, left-to-right match of the ASCII or hexadecimal match string with the option 60 string.

starts-with—Partial match of the ASCII or hexadecimal match string with the option 60 string. The option 60 string can contain a superset of the ASCII or hexadecimal match string, provided that the leftmost characters of the option 60 string entirely match the characters in the configured match string. When you use the starts-with statement, the longest match rule applies; that is, the router matches the string “test123” before it matches the string “test”.

ascii match-string—ASCII match string of 1 through 255 alphanumeric characters.

hexadecimal match-hex—Hexadecimal match string of 1 through 255 hexadecimal characters (0 through 9, a through f, A through F).

The remaining statements are explained separately. See CLI Explorer.

Required Privilege Level
