DHCP config

[Gideon]

Frank,

Thanks for the quick reply. We are deploying IPtv in the ILEC currently. The 
scenario you mentioned is part of my problem. The second is with my FTTH 
network. The system is designed to allow 2 DHCP servers to work on the same 
VLAN (which is wrong IMO). We use Calix for transport. Calix only allows 
Amino STB (110 and 500) to get an IP address from the STB dhcp server, so no 
customer's PCs will get an IP there. However, the Aminos are grabbing public 
IPs from the internet DHCP server and will not boot. The problem wasn't 
there in the beginning, but now is eminent with more users.

I am trying to block those requests at the server level without deploying 
another router. I am well versed in router technology, but am mostly a 
rookie when it comes to the Linux Redhat stuff. I will sift through the 
documentation, but if someone could offer a sample config to block amino 
OUIs i would appreciate it. Thanks again.
