option vendor-class-identifier

Here's what I put in my dhcpd.conf file:

********************************************************************
# The following line populates the lease file with the Vendor Class
Identifier
# that the client sends.
#
set vendor-string = option vendor-class-identifier;
********************************************************************

Which ends up looking like this in the lease file:

lease 10.5.129.5 {
  starts 3 2007/11/07 21:25:29;
  ends 3 2007/11/07 22:25:29;
  cltt 3 2007/11/07 21:25:29;
  binding state active;
  next binding state free;
  hardware ethernet 00:40:7b:e8:36:3f;
  uid "\001\000@{\3506?";
  set vendor-string = "docsis1.0";      <---------  Vendor Class ID

Doug:

It won't be syslogged unless you configure the log entry with that.  You
can also turn the vendor-class identifier option on and it will store it
in dhcpd.leases for any actual lease, which is what I do.

This is the (edited) list I have:
  "20010906";
  "AirStation Series BUFFALO INC.";
  "D-Link Systems";
  "Linux 2.4.26-uc0 sh4";
  "Linux 2.4.34 i686";
  "Linux 2.6.13-15.18-default i686";
  "Mac OS 9.2.2 Open Transport 2.7.9 iBook";
  "MSFT 5.0";
  "MSFT 98";

I'm trying to identify if a client is sending a specific vendor class
option- but don't see it getting logged in syslog- what level of logging
is needed to see these ?

Is there an inventory or list for some known vendor-classes
(specifically looking for HP iLo) ?

thanks in advance
