Given:	DHCP client: SLES11 / dhcpcd-3.2.3-44.9 DHCP server: AIX 5.3

Task: we are using Suse Autoyast for automatic client installations.
To support a wider range of different client I would like to pass
some configuration options via DHCP since DHCP is used initially to
provide host and IP information

For this reason the option 224 ( Private DHCP range ) has been
configured on the DHCP server side.

Example: .... client 1 0x002564d2458b 10.1.2.126    # pc126 { option
12 "pc2126" option sa 10.1.2.1 option bf "/tftpboot/pxelinux.0"
option 224 "DEV:STD" } ...

Problem: I do not find this option 224 in the
/var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-bond0.info and was not able to find another
way to get this information.

Any hint ?

dhcpcd-3 does only has fixed option support and 224 isn't one of them.

You'll have to upgrade to dhcpcd-5 to get this support :)

Thanks

Roy
