[Dnsmasq-discuss] Configuring DHCPv6 Vendor specific information using Option 17

You need something like

--dhcp-option=vi-encap:47196,option6:100,\
"AOS-Switch:Top:Tokyo,3ffe:501:ffff:100::abcd,aruba123"


Check the vendor-specific option number. I got the value of 100 from the
data you provided, but I may have decoded it wrong.

Cheers,

Simon.
