Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 Version 3.21.21.21 User's Guide

Configuring option 43 and option 60 on Linux

1. Set aside a block or pool of addresses that this DHCP server can allocate.
2. Set the option 43 and use the name vendor class identifier for option 60.

   option myname code 43 = text;
   subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0  {
   #default gateway
   	option routers			192.168.0.1;
   	option subnet-mask		255.255.255.0;
   	option nis-domain		"domain.org";
   	option domain-name		"domain.org";
   	option domain-name-servers	192.168.1.1;
   	option time-offset		-18000;	# Eastern Standard Time
   	option vendor-class-identifier "iDRAC";
   	set vendor-string = option vendor-class-identifier;
   	option myname "-f system_config.xml -i 192.168.0.130 -u user -p password -n cifs -s 2 -d 0 -t 500";
   	range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.128 192.168.0.254;
   	default-lease-time 21600;
   	max-lease-time 43200;
   		}
   }

   The following are the required and optional parameters that must be passed in the vendor class identifier string:
   • Filename (–f) — Indicates the name of the exported Server Configuration Profile file.
     NOTE: For more information on file naming rules, see Configuring servers and server components using Auto Config.
   • Sharename (-n) — Indicates the name of the network share.
   • ShareType (-s) — Indicates the share type. 0 indicates NFS, 2 indicates CIFS, 5 indicates HTTP, and 6 indicates HTTPS.
     NOTE: Example for Linux NFS, CIFS, HTTP, HTTPS share:

     • NFS: -f system_config.xml -i 192.168.0.130 -n /nfs -s 0 -d 0 -t 500

       Ensure that you use NFS2 or NFS3 for NFS network share.

     • CIFS: -f system_config.xml -i 192.168.0.130 -n sambashare/config_files -s 2 -u user -p password -d 1 -t 400
     • HTTP: -f system_config.xml -i 192.168.1.101 -s http -n http_share
     • HTTPS: -f system_config.json -i 192.168.1.101 -s https
   • IPAddress (-i) — Indicates the IP address of the file share.
     NOTE: Sharename (-n), ShareType (-s), and IPAddress (-i) are required attributes that must be passed. -n is not required for HTTP or HTTPS.
   • Username (-u) — Indicates the user name required to access the network share. This information is required only for CIFS.
   • Password (-p) — Indicates the password required to access the network share. This information is required only for CIFS.
   • ShutdownType (-d) — Indicates the mode of shutdown. 0 indicates Graceful shutdown and 1 indicates Forced shutdown.
     NOTE: The default setting is 0.
   • Timetowait (-t) — Indicates the time the host system waits before shutting down. The default setting is 300.
   • EndHostPowerState (-e) — Indicates the power state of the host. 0 indicates OFF and 1 indicates ON. The default setting is 1.
     NOTE: ShutdownType (-d), Timetowait (-t), and EndHostPowerState (-e) are optional attributes.

   The following is an example of a static DHCP reservation from a dhcpd.conf file:

   host my_host {
   host my_host {
   hardware ethernet b8:2a:72:fb:e6:56;
   fixed-address 192.168.0.211; 
   option host-name "my_host";
   option myname " -f r630_raid.xml -i 192.168.0.1 -n /nfs -s 0 -d 0 -t 300";
   }
   

   NOTE: After editing the dhcpd.conf file, make sure to restart the dhcpd service
   to apply the changes.
