Management Card can be configured to ignore DHCP offers that do not encapsulate the APC cookie in DHCP option 43 using the following hexadecimal format. (The Card does not require this cookie by default).
Option 43 = 01 04 31 41 50 43
where
–the first byte (01) is the code
–the second byte (04) is the length
–the remaining bytes (31 41 50 43) are the APC cookie.
See your DHCP server documentation to add code to the Vendor Specific Information option.
Note: By selecting the Require vendor specific cookie to accept DHCP Address check box in the Web interface, you can require the DHCP server to provide an “APC” cookie which supplies information to the Management Card: Administration > Network>TCP/IP>ipv4 settings.
