Configuring the DHCP server to send BOOTP responses in RFC 1048 format
Not all BOOTP clients can send requests that are compatible with RFC 1048. By default, the DHCP server does not process the Vend field of RFC 1048-incompliant requests but copies the Vend field into responses.
This feature enables the DHCP server to fill the Vend field in RFC 1048-compliant format in DHCP responses to RFC 1048-incompliant requests sent by BOOTP clients.
This feature is effective for the BOOTP clients that request statically bound addresses.
