Usage Guidelines:
The following DHCP options are useful for identifying different device types:
1. Option 55: Used by a DHCP client to request values for specific configuration parameters. It is
a list of DHCP option codes and can be in the client’s order of preference.
2. Client configured list of DHCP options (all options parsed into a hex string).
3. Option 60: Vendor class identifier. Used to identify the vendor and functionality of a DHCP
client (some devices do not set the value of this field).
Though it is possible to use any option to configure a device fingerprint, Brocade recommends the
use of a combination of one or more of the preceding options to define a device.
