ARP Assignments for Network Hardware

The ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) assignment for the network hardware is specified at the beginning of a client ID in DHCP network tables. Use the following table to determine what code to use in your client ID.

The codes are assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) in the ARP registrations section of the Assigned Numbers standard at http://www.iana.com/numbers.html.
