Situation

DHCP Option 60 (Vendor Class Identifier) has been removed (previously this was set to "PXEClient")

Packet trace shows the NetWare server still responds with Option 60

Resolution

Use ConsoleOne, open the server's DHCP object, select the "Other" tab.

If "DNIP:Config" has the value"PXEClient", change it to some other value, and restart DHCPSRVR
