Wouldn't you use vendor specific options to do something like that?
Seems that it would be more RFC compliant. I say "seems" because
I'm not sure. Please anyone correct if I'm wrong.<br>
<br>
option space vendor-options;<br>
option vendor-options.platform-name code 1 = text;<br>
option vendor-options.someotheroption code 2 = text;<br>
option vendor-options-43 code 43 = encapsulate vendor-options;<br>
<br>
But I do agree with Rene, you would also need to make some
declaration in the client side config file.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I wish to setup a few new options in my
/etc/dhcpd.conf file. Currently, running with V3.0.5_RedHat.
During my testing I’ve added a new option “platform-name” and
restarted the DHCPD daemon. It starts fine but when I run
“dhclient –R platform-name” I get the response that the option
does not exist?<o:p></o:p></p>
