The DHCP server checks the client MAC address and issues an IP address and an s/mask (but not the defaulty g/way).
I think usually people would just let the DHCP server use the MAC address to determine the client's identity and issue all the addresses. I am trying to get both the MAC address and an ID number which I will declare (the server will look for this ID) validated before a gateway is given by the server.
Trying to implement it in Linux using this:
http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man...options.5.html, as a guide. Where in the /etc/dhclient.conf do I place the classid? Do I need to have anything else in the file? Is it the correct file to use to tell the server the client's class ID?
As I say, the process is working well in Windows. I just issue the command IPCONFIG /setclassid "Local Area Connection" the-a-team as guided by
