The patch files - for DHCP v3.0.4 are available under the docs/dhcp/ directory. - - Standard DHCP fields holding MAC addresses are not large enough to contain an - IPoIB hardware address. To overcome this problem, DHCP over InfiniBand messages - convey a client identifier field used to identify the DHCP session. This client - identifier field can be used to associate an IP address with a client identifier - value, such that the DHCP server will grant the same IP address to any client - that conveys this client identifier." - ... - "In order to use a DHCP client identifier, you need to first create a - configuration file that defines the DHCP client identifier. Then run the DHCP - client with this file using the following command: - dhclient cf <client conf file> <IB network interface name> - Example of a configuration file for the ConnectX (PCI Device ID 26428), called - dhclient.conf:Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS - # The value indicates a hexadecimal number - interface "ib1" { - send dhcp-client-identifier - ff:00:00:00:00:00:02:00:00:02:c9:00:00:02:c9:03:00:00:10:39; - } - " + ISC-DHCP-SERVER Missing GPXE patch.
