I try to create my own dhcp options ( dhcp-options) in my server and send it to my client
It seems to work fine because I find my option in the dhcpd.leases file on my client. But, could we get the options contained in the dhcpd.leases in variables.
I don't want to play with the dhcpd.leases file.
When I try to recover the dhcp options with dhclient.scripts, it gives me only default options
Take a look at your /etc/dhcp.conf
use #man dhcp-options
Or take a look at a How To on tldp.org
You mean options like router and so on?
***example****
ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;
Thanks to help me.
I just want to know how I can use my custome DHCP options defined on my server and client.
For example, How can I put custom options in system variables?
(the only way I found for the moment is to read the dhcpd.leases file
I think that I don't really understand what you mean with "...custome DHCP options defined on my server and client"
Do you mean so that some clients need to have some special options?
Which system variables do you want to setup?
In fact, all I want is retrieve and use the information sent by my dhcp server and use some of this information for a custom program. Is there a command that can interrogate the information send by my dhcp server?
Now I am on it ;-) Interesting question?
Maybe something for the programmers forum. Something like with cat and grep in a file and then read it out of there and deliver your requested informations to your special application. Did you ever tried the command netstat with -nlptu as option?
Sorry that I can't give you more helpful informations yet...
