DHCP Option 60
DHCP Option 60 is used by the Zyxel Device for identification to the DHCP server using the
VCI (Vendor Class Identifier) on the DHCP server. The Zyxel Device adds it in the initial DHCP

server can assign different IP addresses or options to clients with the specific VCI or reject
the request from clients without the specific VCI.
Type a string using up to 64 of these characters [a-zA-Z0-9!\"#$%&\'()*+,-./
:;<=>?@\[\\\]^_`{|}~] to identify this Zyxel Device to the DHCP server. For example, Zyxel-
