New DHCP Vendor Class Identifier for Windows and Android Devices

Redesigned Vendor Class Identifier

DHCP vendor class identifiers, used to identify the type of device making a DHCP request, have been updated for some Windows-based devices and Android devices. Previously known as "MSFT 50," the vendor class identifier for Windows devices will now be displayed as either "MSFT 50" or "MSFT 50." Android devices will use the vendor class identifier "dhcpcd-5.5.6."

Corresponding Relationships

The following table summarizes the corresponding relationships between the vendor class identifier and the device type: | Vendor Class Identifier | Device Type | |---|---| | MSFT 50 | Windows device | | MSFT 50.0 | Windows device | | dhcpcd-5.5.6 | Android device |

Implications for DHCP Configuration

Network administrators should be aware of these changes when configuring DHCPv4 servers. The DHCPv4 server must be configured to send Vendor-specific Options according to the corresponding relationships listed above.

Implications for Device Identification

The updated vendor class identifiers will allow network administrators to more easily identify the type of devices that are connecting to their network. This information can be used to enforce network security policies, manage network resources, and troubleshoot network issues.
