Using special characters (pipe | ) in DHCP option 'value' fields

Sergiu Panaite

I am trying to use the pipe character ( |, which is ASCII a124) in a value for a DHCP option, but it's not being accepted. Is there an intentional restriction? Is there a way to get around it?

Please see my attempts below; it accepts the @ sign for example, but none of my attempts to get it to accept pipe | works. Thank you!
