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?

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.
