Identify mobile device dhcp requests

how can we identify mobile device dhcp requests ? We want to assign them a different set of ip addresses then the rest of the network .

We have been playing around with vendor classes but we can't find vendor class identification for devices like android and apple .

You may get that to work but its usually safer and easier to setup a different wireless network just for mobile devices.

You may need to create several WiFi networks and share the connection details (SSID, passphrase etc) only to selected devices.
You can use Mac address filtering, but this requires you to enter each device's MAC address individually.

There is usually no reliable way to identify DHCP clients. Vendor class could have been used if it was actually correctly implemented but this is not the case...
