Is it possible to set up my DHCP server to ignore a specific vendor class?

I set up the vendor class on the DHCP server. Now I want to be able to tell it to ignore that vendor class so that this DHCP server will not hand out IP addresses to these devices.
 
If I understand what you mean by Vendor Class, their MAC addresses should start with a certain vendor prefix. Find out what this is (a Google search should reveal it easily enough).

Then you should be able to use something like this:
Code:
class "the_vendor" {
     match if substring (hardware, 1, 2) = xx:xx;
}

pool {
range a.b.c.d e.f.g.h;
deny members of "the_vendor";
}
