2.2.2 DHCPv4 Option Code 43 (0x2B) - Vendor-Specific Information Option
DHCPv4 clients request vendor-specific options from the DHCPv4 server by including option code 43 in the Parameter Request List, as specified in [RFC2132] section 8.4.
DHCPv4 clients implementing this specification MUST also include a vendor-class identifier as described in section 2.2.3 in the DHCPv4. A Validating Server MAY include a vendor-class identifier when authorizing itself using Rogue Detection.
When a DHCPv4 message includes a Vendor Class Identifier with one of the values defined in section 2.2.3, the Vendor-Specific Information Option is defined to use the "Encapsulated vendor-specific options" format specified in [RFC2132] section 8.4. This specification defines the following encapsulated vendor-specific option codes.
