Assistance with ICS-DHCP Configuration Transfer to LAN-DHCPv4 GUI

[skydiablo]

Hello, I have an existing ICS-DHCP configuration that I would like to use in the LAN-DHCPv4 GUI. I'm not sure how to read the configuration, so I'm unsure how to transfer it to the GUI. All of my previous attempts have been unsuccessful. The crucial point is that I need to correctly implement option 125 "option genexis.config "http://x.y.z.1:7567/file.conf";" Further up in the configuration, there are various definitions that describe the option, but I'm not entirely sure how to create the option 125 and how to generate the value, and possibly hex-code it into the GUI. Here's the configuration that has worked so far:

Code Select Expand


# Configuration via DHCP with "Option 125"
# OPTION 125
option space genexis;
option genexis.fw code 2 = text;
option genexis.config code 3 = text;
option space vivso code width 4;
option vivso.iana code 0 = string;
option vivso.iana 01:01:01;
option vivso.genexis code 25167 = encapsulate genexis;
option option125 code 125 = encapsulate vivso;

subnet x.y.z.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range x.y.z.10 x.y.z.240;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  option broadcast-address x.y.z.255;

#OPTION 125
# define config file
  option genexis.config "http://x.y.z.1:7567/file.conf";
}

I was able to help myself! First, I extended my desktop DHCP client config to request DHCP option 125. To do this, I simply added the number 125 to the "request" field in the "/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf" file.
Then, I queried the already configured ICS DHCP server using the command "sudo dhclient -i eth0". At the same time, in a separate terminal, I ran the tool "dhcpdump -i eth0". As a result, the specific response was displayed, which I was able to adopt 1-to-1.

I hope that this could help someone who may have a similar topic as I did.
