RFC 3315 specifies that Vendor-specific option (option 17) is used by clients and servers to exchange vendor-specific information.

Dhcp Server includes this option in Reply message, when client request for options configured for vendor class. But when do Client include this option ?

In contrast to RFC 3315, RFC 3736 specifies that option-17 is used to pass information to clients in options defined by vendors.

I would like to know, if Client can include Vendor-specific option in messages sent to Server and in which scenarios do Client include this option?
Please clarify me in this regard.

regards

Ravi
