Sub-option 1—Padded with the user-specified access node identifier (ID of the device that adds

Option 82 in DHCP messages), and the type, number, and VLAN ID of the interface that
received the client's request. The VLAN ID field has a fixed length of 2 bytes. All the other

padding contents of sub-option 1 are length variable. See

Figure 88

.

{

Sub-option 2—Padded with the MAC address of the DHCP relay agent interface or the MAC
address of the DHCP snooping device that received the client's request. It has the same format

as that in normal padding format. See

Figure 87

Option 184

Option 184 is a reserved option, and parameters in the option can be defined as needed. The firewall

supports Option 184 carrying voice related parameters, so a DHCP client with voice functions can get an

IP address along with specified voice parameters from the DHCP server.
Option 184 involves the following sub-options:

Sub-option 1—IP address of the primary network calling processor, which serves as the network
calling control source and provides program downloads.

Sub-option 2—IP address of the backup network calling processor that DHCP clients will contact
when the primary one is unreachable.

Sub-option 3—Voice VLAN ID and the result whether DHCP clients take this ID as the voice VLAN
or not.

Sub-option 4—Failover route that specifies the destination IP address and the called number that a
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) user uses to reach another SIP user when both the primary and

backup calling processors are unreachable.

NOTE:

For Option 184, you must define sub-option 1 to make other sub-options take effect.
