<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
I am using ISC dhcpv6 server version 4.1.1-P1 on Ubuntu.<br>
<br>
My server config. file dhcpd6.conf has these lines:<br>
option dhcp6.vendor-opts<br>
00:00:XX:XX: # where XX:XX is the enterprise-number<br>
00:01:00:0c:<br>
48:65:6c:6c:6f:20:77:6f:72:6c:64:21;<br>
<br>
My client is sending OPTION_VENDOR_CLASS(16) to server with the correct enterprise-number, but the isc dhcp server doesn't send the data that is part of dhcp6.vendor-opts(in option 17) in the config. file.<br>
<br>
Can somebody please let me know if I am missing something here ?<br>
<br>
I also went through the code in Tables.c<br>
#if 0<br>
/* XXX: user-class contents are of the form "StA" where the<br>
* integer describes the length of the text field. We don't have<br>
* an atom for pre-determined-length octet strings yet, so we<br>
* can't quite do these two.<br>
*/<br>
{ "user-class", "X", &dhcpv6_universe, 15, 1 },<br>
{ "vendor-class", "X", &dhcpv6_universe, 16, 1 },<br>
#endif<br>
<br>
Does this mean the server doesn't parse option 16 ?<br>
<br>
thank you,<br clear="all">
