dhcp_option in bootpd.plist

Hello Everyone,

Was anyone successful to get any dhcp_option working? (other than the
one set by SA), it should be possible reading the man page, but I had no
luck whatsoever this far

I have found a couple links but they differ in opinion

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9027746
- this site say it would work (it did not)

http://www.afp548.com/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=18&showtopic=21664
- this site say it's broken

but there are no error message, and I cannot see them using "ipconfig
getpacket en0" should I be using something else
* looking in the transaction log of SA, I can see the option just like
in the plist

I have try both key by name (man page)

<key>dhcp_network_time_protocol_servers</key>

<key>dhcp_option_42</key>
<array>
<string>192.168.10.10</string>
<string>192.168.20.10</string>
</array>

those are the options I was looking to offer
option nis-domain
option netbios-node-type
option netbios-name-servers
option ntp-servers
option time-servers

Thanking you in advance for your insight

regards

Yes
I successfuly used the dhcp_proxy_auto_discovery_url.
Logs are note very usefull, even in debug mode.

It's very important to figure out where you have to put the option in the
config file. As the man page say, there are three main sections...
Don't forget to restart bootpd after changing the /etc/bootpd.plist

I noticed that when the config file is not as it should be, when starting
bootpd with serveradmin, it copies the /etc/bootpd.plist file in
/etc/bootpd.plist-corrupted.

Server act as NATd service from 10.0.1.248 to 192.168.16/20
And as authentified proxy cache server

>From my config :

<dict>
<key>allocate</key>
<true/>
<key>dhcp_domain_name</key>
<string>easymac.fr</string>
<key>dhcp_domain_name_server</key>

return "PROXY 10.0.1.248:3143; DIRECT";
}

La théorie, c¹est quand on sait tout mais que rien ne marche
La pratique, c¹est quand tout marche mais qu¹on ne sait pas pas pourquoi
Et l¹informatique, c¹est l¹union de la théorie et de la pratique : rien ne
marche et on sait pas pourquoi
