DHCP Vendor Class Identifiers: MSFT 50 vs. android-dhcp-13

Background

The DHCP Vendor Class Identifier (VCI) is an option in the DHCP request packet that identifies the type of device requesting an IP address. This information is used by the DHCP server to provide the device with the appropriate configuration parameters.

MSFT 50

MSFT 50 is a VCI that was originally used to identify Windows computers. However, it has since been replaced by MSFT 5 0 for Windows computers.

android-dhcp-13

android-dhcp-13 is a VCI that is used to identify Android devices that are running Android 13.

Conclusion

The DHCP VCI is an important part of the DHCP process. By understanding the different VCIs, you can ensure that your DHCP server is providing the correct configuration parameters to your devices.
