[Kea-users] vendor class for Meraki AP

I am trying to migrate onto a kea server however I think I am stymied by
vendor classes/options and my lack of understanding of the concept. On the
server I am logging the following:

2024-05-10 05:18:35.064 WARN  [kea-dhcp4.alloc-engine/1184246]
ALLOC_ENGINE_V4_ALLOC_FAIL_SUBNET [hwtype=1 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx],
cid=[xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx], tid=0x58cf5641: failed to allocate an IPv4
lease in the subnet xx.xx.xx.xx/xx, subnet-id 3, shared network (none)
2024-05-10 05:18:35.064 WARN  [kea-dhcp4.alloc-engine/1184246]

address allocation
2024-05-10 05:18:35.064 WARN  [kea-dhcp4.alloc-engine/1184246]
ALLOC_ENGINE_V4_ALLOC_FAIL_CLASSES [hwtype=1  xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx],
cid=[xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx], tid=0x58cf5641: Failed to allocate an IPv4 address
for client with classes: ALL, HA_kea1.org.org, VENDOR_CLASS_MERAKI, UNKNOWN

Since I have pools defined with all their IP addresses available, I assume
this is because I need to define a vendor class for the meraki access
points that are DORA but I can't seem to craft the configuration that can
move this forward. Probably because . When I look at our old windows DHCP
server I have the following reference but I am still stuck.

<Class>
  <Name>MERAKI_AP_CLASS</Name>
  <Type>Vendor</Type>
  <Data>0x4d4552414b49</Data>
</Class>

Any thoughts, advice, direction? Working my way through
https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/latest/arm/classify.htmlbut I'm not sure I
fully understand the vendor options concept of all this...especially in
resolving my isseu.
