You mean option 57 max msg size?
Yep.
Hm, the current packet size seems to
be 328 byte. How is it calculated?
It's set to be the minimum size mandated by the DHCP spec, which is 576
bytes, HOWEVER, if BOOTP is in use rather than DHCP, then the "vendor
oprions" field is only 64 bytes, according to to RFC 951, so the maximum
packet size is reduced to 328 (rest of packet + 64 byte option field)
Are you using BOOTP? If so, then that explains things. Can you use DHCP
instead? (BYW the option 57 stuff is not specified for BOOTP, so that
wouldn't help.)
