BLADE OS 5.1 Application Guide
174 Chapter 9: Basic IP Routing BMD00113, September 2009
Using DCHP Option 82 Agent Identifiers
Virtual MAC Identifiers
In the following examples, virtual MAC addresses are used to assign IP addresses to ports 1 and 7
for a switch with base MAC address of 00:13:0a:4f:7c:00.
Using DHCP Option 61 Client Identifiers
Note – Note that there is a type byte (0x01) in front of the virtual MAC address in the client
identifier.
