Network Management

We are looking to migrate our DHCP service from an Aruba OS switch to a Linux server as it is more scalable.

Does anyone know the correct syntax for DHCP option 43 on a Linux server ?

 

Below is sample config we were using on Aruba OS switch:

 

dhcp-server pool "East-Quad"
default-router "10.10.1.1"
network 10.10.1.0 255.255.255.0
option 43 ascii "Eastquad,10.80.2.201,secret123"
option 60 ascii "ArubaInstantAP"
range 10.10.1.10 10.10.1.100
exit

 

Below is a sample dhcp.conf file on linux server, but how would I include Airwave Group and Airwave Pre Shared Key ?

 

option serverip code 43 = ip-address;

class "vendor-class" {

match option vendor-class-identifier;
}

subnet 10.10.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

default-lease-time 200;

max-lease-time 200;

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

option routers 10.10.1.1;

subclass "vendor-class" "ArubaInstantAP" {

option vendor-class-identifier "ArubaInstantAP";
#
# option serverip <loopback-IP-address-of-master-controller>

#
option serverip 10.80.2.201;
}
range 10.10.1.10 10.10.1.100;
}

 

Maybe this link helps you.

Hi Marcel, I've seen that link before but it does not show how you would include the Airwave Group or Airwave pre-shared key.

 

option 43 ascii "group,10.80.2.201,secret1" 

 

Im looking for the equivalent config of option 43 above from an Aruba OS Switch but on a linux server ?

 

 

 

 

Here's a snippet from my DHCP server conf:

# custom option definitions
option Airwave-43 code 43 = string;
option Airwave-60 code 60 = string;

#Store 162 stanza
option Airwave-43 "Stores:162,10.0.8.13,1234";
option Airwave-60 "ArubaInstantAP";

#Store 165 stanze
option Airwave-43 "Stores:165,10.0.8.13,1234";
option Airwave-60 "ArubaInstantAP";
