Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dhcp3-server-ldap
Take as example the following dhcpd.conf (just as example, it's syntax
is not right):
global parameters...
class "VoIP_Phones" {
match if (substring (hardware,1,3)=00:04:13);
}
class "Other_Clients" {
match if not (substring (hardware,1,3)=00:04:13);
}
subnet 204.254.239.0 netmask 255.255.255.224 {
subnet-specific parameters...
pool "VoIP" {
allow members of "VoIP_Phones";
deny members of "Other_Clients";
pool-specific parameters...
}
pool "VoIP" {
deny members of "VoIP_Phones";
allow members of "Other_Clients";
pool-specific parameters...
}
}
If you want to have such kind of configuration LDAP based, you would
create corresponding LDIF files and load them in the LDAP.
But - and that's tricky - you need to ensure to load all classes that
get referenced by the pool declarations later get loaded into the LDAP
before the pool declarations.
In other words - DHCP does not automatically load class declarations
first. If you you first save the pools into LDAP, followed by the
classes, DHCP will throw an error on restart because it finds the
reference to the class before the class declaration itself.
