+This option is used by some DHCP clients as a way for users to
+specify identifying information to the client.   This can be used in a
+similar way to the vendor-class-identifier option, but the value of
+the option is specified by the user, not the vendor.   Most recent
+DHCP clients have a way in the user interface to specify the value for
+this identifier, usually as a text string.
