Hi All,
Apologies if this is an obvious one but I'm new to using classes with
isc-dhcpd.
I'm trying to set up a class to match some dev boards I am working with.
I'm trying to match on the "vendor-class-identifier" option but it's either
not working or it's not working as I expected.
I've created a lab setup with a RaspberryPi as my server for the testing,
For the test setup I'm calling dhcpd from the cli directly and keeping it
in the foreground so I can see the output and this makes restarting it
quick for this job.
The dev boards use bootp for their boot process the only option I need to
set for them is the next-server.
So I created a class as you can see below which matches on the
vendor-class-identifier which I've confirmed is being sent.
But the board never gets the next-server from the class and I never see the
log line on the console.
If I please the next server and log line in the subnet it works as
expected.
Looking in the lease file I see the vendor-class-identifier is set as
expected by the board.
I've had to scrub the mac address of the board so it's just replaced with a
placeholder.
Can anyone please advise am I missing something or is my understanding of
classes incorrect (This is very possible)
Thanks for your time
Cheers
Mark

Is it "option vendor-class-identifier" or just "vendor-class-identifier" ?
I'm a bit rusty, and TBH never really used classes much anyway, but I vaguely
recall that "option vendor-class-identifier" would be the option value set by
the server, while "vendor-class-identifier" would match the field in the
incoming packet.
