In the process of testing Kea for our environment, I have uncovered a peculiar use-case. We have a particular vendor whose gear requires option 43 to contain a string.
In our ISC DHCP server, we do this with (hex for the string "SWRD"): option vendor-encapsulated-options 53:57:52:44; which shows up in a tcpdump as (decimal for the string "SWRD"): Vendor-Option Option 43, length 4: 83.87.82.68 I'm trying to find out to accomplish this with Kea. Option 43 is already defined as type 'empty', and I can't override this in the kea.conf file. I haven't tried to implement this as a sub-option, as it would prepend the string with a code and length. Any ideas how I could make this work? Could I conceivably override the option in a hook? Or would I still face the same restrictions with overriding the option type? Duane Wylie
