DHCP Client Vendor Names Updated in Windows 10 April 2018 Update
New DHCP Features for Windows 10
The DHCP Client in Windows 10 has been updated in the April 2018 Update. Some of the new features include:
- A new DHCP Client Vendor Name for some Windows-based devices, which is now "MSFT 50 XBOX"
- A new DHCP Client Vendor Identifier for Android devices running Android 13, which is "android-dhcp-13"
What Do These Changes Mean?
The DHCP Client Vendor Name is used by DHCP clients to identify the vendor and configuration of the device. The new vendor name "MSFT 50 XBOX" indicates that the device is a Windows-based device that is part of the Xbox ecosystem. The new vendor identifier "android-dhcp-13" indicates that the device is an Android device running Android 13.
These changes will help to improve the compatibility of DHCP clients with Windows 10 and other devices on the network.
