Monitoring DHCP Option 60 Information
Purpose
Display configuration and action information for the DHCP vendor-option (option 60) feature.
- Use the command without additional keywords to display information for all vendor option configurations.
- Use the vendor-option-relay-server keyword and server address to display information for option 60 strings that match a configured string that results in the packets being sent to the specified vendor-option server.
- Use the default keyword to display information for option 60 strings that do not match a configured vendor-option string.
Action
To display information for all vendor option configurations:
host1#show dhcp vendor-option
Codes:
* - the configured vendor-string is an exact-match
default - all DHCP client packets not matching a configured vendor-string
implied - the DHCP application is configured but has not been enabled
with the vendor-option command
drop - the DHCP application responsible for the action has not been
configured yet therefore all packets for this application
will be dropped
Total 4 entries.
