XML is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. file containing Option 82 specification to flash using the download-dhcpopt82 xml <URL> command. For example:

   If the XML Extensible Markup Language. XML is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. file is not in the specified format, then the incorrect file will not be loaded to flash. This can be checked using the show dhcp opt82 xml-config command, where the load status will be set to Success or Fail. If the load fails, the error is displayed in the output of the show dhcp opt82 xml-config command.

   (Instant AP) #download-dhcpopt82 xml http://10.20.52.131/dhcp_option82_1.xml

2. In the configuration terminal, execute the following command:

   (Instant AP)(DHCP Profile <profile-name>)# server-vlan <vlan-ID>

   (Instant AP)(DHCP Profile <profile-name>) # option82 xml

4. Execute the following command if the user wants to remove global option82 configuration:

   (Instant AP)(config)# no dhcp option82-xml

   This command is not successful if there is a DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
