Dear all,
Does anyone get the problem that "host-identifier option
dhcp6.client-id" can't work.
My dhcpd version is 4.2.0a1 on Ubuntu 9.04.
My dhclient version is 4.1.1rc1 on Ubuntu 8.04.
My client uses the fixed DUID-LL by hard-coded lease file.
The content is just one line -
default-duid "\000\003\00\001\001\002\003\004\005\006";.
I uses the following configuration on the server side.
....
host xxhost{
host -identifier option dhcp6.client-id 00:03:00:01:01:02:03:04:05:06;
fixed-address6 2001:db8:0:1::127;
}
subnet6 ...
....
The client always pick up the address from the subnet6 pool not from
"host xxhost".
Both changing the dhcp6.client-id to the client's mac or the DUID mac ,
01:02:03:04:05:06, still doesn't work.
I sniffer the packet between the client and the server.
I'm really sure the DUID is 00:03:00:01:01:02:03:04:05:06;
From the configuration sample with the dhcpd package, dhcp6.client-id
contains whole client identifier header except for the option type field
and the option length field.
Is there any limitation when we usg "host -identifier option
dhcp6.client-id" ?

From the official site, it said "The "host-identifier" option is
limited to a simple token."
What does it means? Is there any example?

Does anyone know what the problem is ?
