Afaik it is for Netbooting systems not routers or phones. Not sure if this
includes PXE but I recall the option in relation with a lab during a
bootcamp.
This would be a good one to lab though one would need various 'stations' to
try this on as the dhcp cleint will determine whether the value is used and
what for... This means you have to know a little about the most common
devices the option may be used for. In case you get a questiuon along the
lines of prepare interface XYZ for say a Sun station.
