Re: [Vyatta-users] Custom DHCP options
You could modify the perl script that creates the dhcpd.conf file and add the custom commands for you. Doesn't exactly give you the flexability you want from the OFR, but it at least will keep you from having to keep everything in sync by hand. /opt/vyatta/sbin/dhcpd-config.pl If you dont know enough perl, let me know and I can probably help you out. -- Aubrey Wells Senior Engineer Shelton | Johns Technology Group A Vyatta Ready Partner www.sheltonjohns.com On Mar 25, 2008, at 5:22 AM, Joe Pub wrote: > Yea, I was considering editing dhcpd.conf directly, but was hoping the > CLI would incorporate directly. > > Is there a way that I can edit the dhcpd.conf after the OFR has > written it then restart dhcpd.conf automatically during boot? > > On 24/03/2008, Matt Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I don;t think you can do this... >> >> I tried doing it before but I didn;t have much luck... i wanted to >> set tftp-server-name so that i could specifcy the TFTP server for >> my SIP phones to download their config from. >> >> The problem isn;t the lack of functionality in the DHCP server, the >> problem is Vyatta's CLI's inability to configure the options. >> Vyatta is basically just creating a dhcpd.conf file based on your >> vyatta config... one "hack" I did to fix this probably temporarly >> is to not include any dhcp config in the vyatta config... then i >> configured dhcpd.conf myself with the options I wanted... >> unfortunatly this method means that OFR doesn't automatically start >> the dhcp server at bootup... hence why its only a temporary >> solution for me... >> >> One thing i;m considering doing is setting up dhcp relay to trying >> to centralize all of my dhcp servers... but it would be very nice >> if OFR allowed you to specify arbitrary options >> >> I was actually extremely surprised when i discovered i couldn';t >> set tftp-server-name through OFR... given how common TFTP is for IP >> phones... and considering that Vyatta is partnered with Digium - >> the author of Asterisk PBX - http://www.vyatta.com/partners/index.php >> >> >> -- >> Matt >> >> >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> ] On Behalf Of Joe Pub [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2008 11:59 AM >> To: vyatta-users@mailman.vyatta.com >> Subject: [Vyatta-users] Custom DHCP options >> >> >> Hi, >> >> Is there a way in the OFR to add custom DHCP options to the DHCP >> server?

Re: [Vyatta-users] Custom DHCP options
Yea, I was considering editing dhcpd.conf directly, but was hoping the CLI would incorporate directly. Is there a way that I can edit the dhcpd.conf after the OFR has written it then restart dhcpd.conf automatically during boot?
