ios dhcp server - insufficient space for option 161

[imanassypov]

Hi,

I am having issues with a simple dhcp server configuration where the client sometimes does not receive the location of tftp server (option 161).

Below is the related dhcp debug snippet:

Jun 19 19:13:53.165: DHCPD: client's VPN is .

Jun 19 19:13:53.165: DHCPD: No option 125

What does 'insufficient space for option 161' mean as well as 'no option 125' in this context?

Thanks

hi,

option 125 is "Vendor option". is this happenes with only ONE specific client?

[imanassypov]

happens to some clients, at time of failure DHCP debug returns 'insufficient space for option 161' which I can not find any explanation for
