Configuration guide | Configuring vendor class based DHCP option 43

Introduction
This configuration guide describes how to configure vendor class based Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) option
43 for access points (APs) running on HP Unified software on a Windows DHCP server.

Background information
A vendor class identifier allows certain devices to request vendor-specific information from a DHCP server.
The vendor class identifier is provided by DHCP clients using DHCP option 60 in a DHCP request and a properly-configured
DHCP server returns the right vendor-specific options defined for the specific vendor class on the server. These values are
returned as DHCP option 43 (vendor-specific information) and can usually only be interpreted by the requesting devices.
HP APs do support the DHCP option 60 vendor call identifier and use different formats as well as identifiers, depending on
the AP model and software code running on the AP, to retrieve a list of available controllers to which they can connect to.
HP APs use different DHCP option 43 formats and different DHCP option 60 vendor class identifier depending on the
firmware they are running.
For how to configure DHCP servers to use the vendor-specific class to send DHCP option 43 for HP MSM APs, see MSM7xx
Controllers Configuration Guide v6.5.x or a later version.
All HP accesses points running an HP Unified firmware coming with the HP Unified Controller Software versions listed below
support both the H3C and MSM format of DHCP option 43.

Installations running the minimum required version of code either of these to option formats could be used for AP discovery.
APs running on an older version of HP Unified/H3C Comware firmware (R2308P18 or older) only support the H3C format of
option 43.
The vendor class identifier (DHCP option 60) used by the HP APs also depends on software code that is running on the APs.
APs running MSM firmware use the same vendor class identifier for all AP types.
MSM firmware vendor class identifier:
ASCII: Colubris-AP
Binary: 43:6F:6C:75:62:72:69:73:2D:41:50
APs running HP Unified firmware use a different vendor class identifier per AP type. For a list of HP Unified vendor class
identifiers, look at: Appendix: List of vendor class identifier of HP APs.

Recommendation/best practice
Most HP APs are supported on the HP MSM as well as the HP Unified platform. In order to support multiple controller
platforms these APs implement a multiboot capability.
All multiboot factory delivered APs run MSM firmware by default. If these APs boot up they use the
MSM vendor-class identifier Colubris-AP" in their DHCP requests.
When these APs connect to an HP Unified controller the first time, they are converted to run HP Unified firmware by
switching to an HP Unified bootloader. After the bootloader has been switched on, the APs reboot and start the discovery
process again. For details about the AP conversion process, refer to the latest HP MSM430/46X release notes and upgrade
guide that is part of each HP Unified release notes portfolio.
After the first reboot, the converted APs start using the HP Unified DHCP vendor class identifier that is different for each AP
type.

Configuration guide | Configuring vendor class based DHCP option 43

In order to make sure that newly deployed factory default APs as well as already deployed APs are able to discover the HP
Unified controllers using DHCP option 43 it is recommended to configure the HP MSM AP as well as the HP Unified AP vendor
class identifiers (one per AP type) concurrently. All options should point to the same type of HP wireless controller.
Figure 1. DHCP option 43 example

If the DHCP server used in the environment supports vendor class filtering based on regular expressions or at least wild
cards, it might be possible to only specify one option for all matching vendor identifier e.g., HP. HP*.
It is recommended to use the MSM DHCP vendor class option format if the HP Unified Wireless installation uses at least one
of the software versions listed in table 1 because both factory default HP APs running MSM firmware as well as HP APs
running HP Unified firmware support this format.

Note:
In a mixed environment running HP MSM as well as HP Unified controllers, the APs running with the MSM controller need a
different DHCP scope than APs running with the HP Unified controller, otherwise, the MSM APs might be accidently
converted to HP Unified APs.

Windows DHCP server configuration

This section describes how to configure a Windows DHCP server with the different HP access point vendor class identifiers.
The following procedure assumes that you have a Windows server that has a DHCP server configured and running.

1.

Calculate the required hex values for the H3C vendor-specific option using the HP Option43Tool.exe or manually.
Description of H3C option 43 format:
80: Option type. It is a fixed value, 80, 1 byte.
0B: Option length, indicating the length of the following content (number of hex numbers; here it indicates that the

following part has 11 hex numbers), 1 byte.

0000: Server type. It is a fixed value, 0000, two bytes.
02: The number of the following IP addresses, 1 byte.
C0 A9 64 6E, C0 A8 64 6F: Hex expressions of the IP addresses of the two ACs, i.e., 192.168.100.110 and

192.168.100.111 in the example. Of them, 18.1.7.1 is the address of the main AC.

On the DHCP administration page, in the navigation pane, open the folder that corresponds to the desired scope.
Right-click scope options, and from the resulting menu select configure options. The scope options page opens. Select
the advanced tab.
On the advanced tab, configure the following:
From the vendor class drop-down menu, select the previously defined vendor class, here H3C WA2620-AGN AP
Under available options, enable the checkbox for the previously defined vendor option, here H3C Access Controller
Under data entry, specify the hex values as generated in step 1 without the first two bytes for option type (80) and

option length (0B in the exampleautomatically created)

Note:
The Option43Tool.exe generates the complete option 43 hex value including the option type value (80) the length value
(0B). These two first bytes are already included in the configured DHCP vendor class options previously defined and do not
have to be added in the option value field.
