Yes, that works well. Just tried it with the 2.0b1pl18 server.
This in my server dhcpd.conf (addresses slightly modified for privacy):
host bubba {
option dhcp-client-identifier "bubba";
hardware ethernet 00:E0:29:02:03:04;
fixed-address 128.223.223.223;
option broadcast-address 128.223.223.255;
option routers 128.223.223.1;
}
And on my Linux Redhat 5.2 I put this in /etc/dhclient.conf
timeout 60;
retry 60;
reboot 10;
select-timeout 5;
initial-interval 2;
interface "eth0" {
send dhcp-client-identifier "bubba";
}
I'm just doing this for server up-ness testing, but the
client identifier does look like a good working identifier.
Makes the test dhcplient.conf really simple.
