host-identifier with IPv6

[julien jordan]

Hello everyone,

I'm new on the mailing-list and I'm sorry for my english, I'm french :)

I'm just wondering if something like that could work (not in my case but
almost, maybe i'm missing something? ) :

# defining a new option for host-identifier statement, I also tried with
text
option dhcp6.macaddr code 193 = string;

option dhcp6.macaddr = binary-to-ascii(16, 8, ":", suffix(option
dhcp6.client-id, 6));

execute("echo", config-option dhcp6.macaddr); # I received 0:6:1c:45:6:1 so
that works


host toto {

    host-identifier option dhcp6.macaddr "0:6:1c:45:6:1";     #Don't match

   #host-identifier option dhcp6.macaddr "00:06:1c:45:06:01";    #Neither

    fixed-address6 2001::65;

}

I've no errors but it don't seem to work.

If you have some ideas...


Thanks

Hm, can't you just use substring on the DUID option?

RTFM! Also, suffix() would be easier.

The host-identifier parses an option statement, not an arbitrary data
expression, because checking arbitrary data expressions for identicality was
too hard for the first release (and we need to have one hash table for all
host lookups along a given key value).

So 'host-identifier option [name] [value];' is currently the only valid
syntax, and the only way to match host records (example given uses the
DUID).

We could solve the original feature request by writing a method to assign a
host-identifier hash slot to any arbitrary data expression, that has crossed
my mind.
