hi zarko,

thank post.

no, vendor class based on dhcp server level not on scope/option level. means client not dhcp option if vendor class defined on dhcp server not on scopes/options.

dhcp server handle vendor option procedure:
1. server checks see vendor class identified client request recognized class defined on server.
2. if vendor class recognized, server checks see whether additional dhcp options configured class in active scope.
3. if vendor class not recognized, server ignores vendor class identified in client request, , returns options allocated default vendor class (includes dhcp standard options).
4. if scope contains options configured use clients in vendor-defined class, server returns options , uses vendor-specific option type (option code 43) part of acknowledgment message.
