Hi there,

TIA

Hi,

 

You can use the extra option field.

 

It would be 209.length.x.y.z.

 

Length being the length of your string (i guess it is a string).

And x.y.z being the decimal values of each ascii character (table here).

Regards,

Erwan

can only add one “extra option”?

if added option 209, then how about that 175 option?

I found that 175 priority is critical when using proxydhcp, without it client can not begin tftp download

alway showing tftp... and then die

add 175.3.1.1.1 fix it

I believe you can put multiple dhcp options like this : option_id_1.length.a.b.c.option_id_2.length.a.b.c .

 

Give it a try and let me know.

If not working, i'll review the code.

not working.

set 175.3.1.1.1 got 175.1
set 209.3.1.1.1 got 209.1
set 175.3.1.1.1.209.3.1.1.1 got nothing

 

One option should be working fine as this is an old feature implemented in the early days.

 

Just checked it and it seems to work fine.
