2.3.8.1 How to Use a Vendor Class

Prerequisites

• It is recommended to define a vendor class on the DHCP server, thus
enabling server and phone to exchange vendor-specific data exclusively. The
data is disclosed from other clients.
• In the following, the configuration of vendor classes is explained both for a
Windows DHCP Server and for Unix/Linux.
Example: Configuration of the Windows DHCP Server
INFO: For DHCP servers on a pre-SP2 Windows 2003 Server.
Windows 2003 Server contains a bug that prevents you from
using the DHCP console to create an option with the ID 1 for a
user-defined vendor class. Instead, this entry must be created
with the netsh tool in the command line (DOS shell).
You can use the following command to set the required option
(without error message), so that it will appear in the DHCP
console afterwards:
netsh dhcp server add optiondef 1 "Optipoint element 001"
STRING 0 vendor=OptiIpPhone comment="Tag 001 for Optipoint"
The value "Siemens" for optiPoint Element 1 can then be re-
assigned using the DHCP console.
This error was corrected in Windows 2003 Server SP2.
