28 * This option is used by DHCP clients to optionally identify the vendor
29 * type and configuration of a DHCP client. The information is a string
30 * of n octets, interpreted by servers. Vendors may choose to define
31 * specific vendor class identifiers to convey particular configuration
32 * or other identification information about a client. For example, the
33 * identifier may encode the client's hardware configuration. Servers
34 * not equipped to interpret the class-specific information sent by a
35 * client MUST ignore it (although it may be reported). Servers that
36 *
37 * respond SHOULD only use option 43 to return the vendor-specific
38 * information to the client.
39 *
40 * The code for this option is 60, and its minimum length is 1.
