By default, DHCP option 66/67 parameters are not carried in a DHCP server
reply. To ask for a DHCP reply with option 66/67 information, the DHCP client
request sent by this switch includes a “parameter request list” asking for this
information. Besides, the client request also includes a “vendor class identifier
that allows the DHCP server to identify the device, and select the appropriate
configuration file for download. This information is included in Option 55 and
124.
The server should reply with the TFTP server name and boot file name.
Note that the vendor class identifier can be formatted in either text or
hexadecimal, but the format used by both the client and server must be the
same.
