Configuring vendor details and vendor specific information (option 43 and option 60)

RUCKUS devices running as DHCP servers can be configured with option 43 and option 60. The following task configures option 60 and option 43 for a device running as a DHCP server.

To configure option 60 and option 43.

  1. Enter global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Create a DHCP server pool. 
    device(config)# ip dhcp-server pool ruckus
    Note: Save the configuration to retain the configuration through warm or cold reboots.
  3. Specify (option 60) the vendor type and configuration value for the DHCP client using the option command. 
    device(ip dhcp-server pool ruckus)# option 60 ascii “Ruckus CPE”
    Note: If the ascii option contains a space, you must enter it with double quotes as shown in the previous example.
  4. Specify (option 43) the vendor specific information using the option command. 
    device(ip dhcp-server pool ruckus)# option 43 hex 0108c0a80a01c0a81401
  5. Deploy the configuration using the deploy command. 
    device(ip dhcp-server pool ruckus)# deploy

The following example configures option 60 and option 43 (hex) for a Ruckus Access Point (AP). 

device# configure terminal 
device(config)# ip dhcp-server pool ruckus 
device(ip dhcp-server pool ruckus)# option 60 ascii “Ruckus CPE”
device(ip dhcp-server pool ruckus)# option 43 hex 010cc0a80a01c0a81401c0a81e01
device(ip dhcp-server pool ruckus)# deploy

The following example configures option 60 and option 43 (ASCII) for a Ruckus AP. 

device# configure terminal 
device(config)# ip dhcp-server pool ruckus 
device(ip dhcp-server pool ruckus)# option 60 ascii “Ruckus CPE”
device(ip dhcp-server pool ruckus)# option 43 ascii ruckusconfig 
device(ip dhcp-server pool ruckus)# deploy

The following example configures the SmartZone IP list in TLV format for the DHCP server.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# ip dhcp-server pool ruckus
device(ip dhcp-server pool ruckus)# option vendor-class-identifier ascii “Ruckus CPE”
device(ip dhcp-server pool ruckus)# option vendor-encapsulated-options hex 0x010b31312e31312e31312e3131030f3131322e3131322e3131322e313132061731302e31302e31302e31302c31322e31322e31322e3132
