Re: [dhcwg] Option 60 VCI

Andre,

Thanks for the response.  Do you know if most devices send this option or
most dont?  I am trying to capture the packets with ethereal but none of the
devices I have at my disposal at this moment currently seem to do it.
Unless I am approaching this incorrectly.  Someone told me what the cable
modems send so I didn't have to go through this discover process with them.

My purpose is basically for controlling the network.  In conjunction with
firewall rules I would basically like to ban certain devices and or limit
access for certain devices.  This is in residential apartment buildings for
instance I don't want people putting consumer wireless routers on their
cable modem and opening up holes in the network.  Or I want to keep access
points on a different subnet so wannabe hackers cant mess with them easily
from the subnet that client devices get assigned.

Jake
