Setting host-identifier from omapi

[Christian Kratzer]

Hi,

I am reasearching the possibility of setting up hosts identified by dhcp option 82 circuit-id or subscriber-id using omapi as follows:

 	host foo {
 	    host-identifier option agent.circuit-id "foo"
 	    fixed-address 192.0.2.99;
 	}

I found following thread from January this year:

 	https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/dhcp-users/2012-January/014807.html

>From looking at the defintion of dhcp_host_set_value in server/omapi.c using host-identifier does not seem to be supported currently.

>From further reading it seems that dhcp_host_set_value sets value in a struct host_decl instance. I see there is a "struct option *host_id_option;" in host_decl.

In order to support host-identifiers over omapi would it be enough to extend dhcp_host_set_value to parse an option into host_id_option of host_decl by taking the code from server/confparse.c after if (token == HOST_IDENTIFIER) at approx line 1893 ?

I am inclined to attempt a path but would like some confirmation that I am on the right track before opening up a can of worms.

Greetings
Christian
