â—† Use the ca-type to advertise the physical location of the device, that is the city,
street number, building and room information. The address location is
specified as a type and value pair, with the civic address (CA) type being
defined in RFC 4776. The following table describes some of the CA type
numbers and provides examples.
Any number of CA type and value pairs can be specified for the civic address
location, as long as the total does not exceed 250 characters.
â—† For the location options defined for device-type, normally option 2 is used to
specify the location of the client device. In situations where the client device
location is not known, 0 and 1 can be used, providing the client device is
physically close to the DHCP server or network element.
Example
The following example enables advertising location identification details.
