Adding New CD/DVD Device when Creating Virtual Server

When I am in the ESXi 6.5 Web client adding a virtual server, I attempt to add a new CD/DVD device for my client machine.

But the only options I get are host or datastore, shouldn't I get client also?

How do I add the CDROM from my client machine?

Thank you, that is what I expected to see. But I am only getting Host device and Datastore ISO file choices.
