Thanks Simon, this works! In case of DHCP v4 vendor option, it's not mandatory to provide encapsulated vendor specific information. Here in DHCPv6, I see that the option 17 doesn't work without giving enterprise ID for encapsulation. Why so?
Also, is there a way to give hex as vendor option value that can include enterprise ID as well?

I got the value of 100 from the data you provided, but I may have decoded it wrong. Cheers, Simon.
