To use DHCP when configuring the iSCSI boot configuration, select the Use DHCP checkbox.
Selecting this option requires a DHCP server to be set up with iSCSI extensions to provide boot parameters
to servers. The DHCP Vendor ID is offered by the initiator to the DHCP server to retrieve the iSCSI boot
configured data. For more information, see the documentation that ships with the DHCP server and "DHCP
option 43 (on page 149)."
