Hi,

When we used those Options with a ISC DHCP Server, it was a Version of
3.0.3.
In the Meanwhile also other DHCP Server were used, but the Intention is to
use an actual Version of the ISC DHCP Server.

If i understand correctly, we can define those Options, but those weren't
interpreted by the DHCP Server?

It looks like that, i defined atm this one:

option space pxelinux;
option pxelinux.ServerNameShort code 129 = text;
option pxelinux.Password code 131 = text;
option pxelinux.ServerNameLong code 133 = text;
option pxelinux.User code 134 = text;
site-option-space "pxelinux";
option pxelinux.EmpirumServer "TheServerNameShort";
option pxelinux.EmpPW "ThePassword";
option pxelinux.EmpSrvLong "TheFQDN";
option pxelinux.EmpUser "TheUser";

Not surprising, i does not work atm. ;-)

The Server can be restarted with this one, but is sais clearly:

The DHCP also only want to have this Options directly in the dhcpd.conf
File.
If placed in another File (like include "/etc/dhcp/clients.dhcpd.conf";) the
DHCP Server won't start.

I think we have to discuss the "Way to go" completely, also with a look on
this PXELinux System...


Best regards,
Andi
