The following is at the top of my dhcpd.conf:
option serverip code 43 = ip-address;
class "vendor-class" {
match option vendor-class-identifier;
}
.
.
.
Scope is as follows:
subnet 10.16.0.0 netmask 255.255.254.0
{
option broadcast-address 10.16.1.255;
option domain-name "rbb.ryerson.ca";
option domain-name-servers 141.117.100.1, 141.117.100.4;
option routers 10.16.0.1;
range 10.16.0.5 10.16.0.9;
default-lease-time infinite;
max-lease-time infinite;
subclass "vendor-class" "ArubaAP" {
option vendor-class-identifier "ArubaAP";
#
# option serverip <loopback-IP-address-of-master-controller>
#
option serverip 10.10.10.1;
}
}
