Multiple instances of custom option possible?

[teemu.savolainen at nokia.com]

Hi,

That didn't seem to work - the later definition seemed to always override previous definition (hence only one instance of an option was in DHCP server's memory).

Thanks,

Teemu

man dhcp-options

STANDARD DHCPV6 OPTIONS
       DHCPv6  options  differ  from  DHCPv4  options  partially  due to using 16-bit code and length tags, but semantically zero-length
       options are legal in DHCPv6, and multiple options are treated differently.  Whereas in DHCPv4 multiple options would be  concate-
       nated  to  form  one  option,  in DHCPv6 they are expected to be individual instantiations.


So presumably you could have mutiple instance as follows ???

dhcp6.option-dns-select ip6-addr int8 "domain1"[,"domain2" ...]
dhcp6.option-dns-select ip6-addr int8 "domain10"[,"domain20" ...]
...

Hi,

I have tried to find answer to following problem but haven't succeeded. Could you please assist?

I'm working with prototype implementation relating to my draft: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-savolainen-mif-dns-server-selection/

I would like to have multiple instances of the proposed DHCPv6 option sent by ISC's DHCPv6 server implementation (4.2.0) and be received by the ISC's client (stateless mode). I get one instance through just fine, but is it possible to have several without modifying code?

Definition:
option dhcp6.option-dns-select code xx = { ip6-address, integer 8, domain-list };

Thank you,

Teemu
