option 82 feature of DHCP

[Hughes, Doug]

It seems to me that what you are really after is the 'ClientID' of the client machine. That could be the serial number, or the mac address, or something else. You can specify this using something like dhclient -I, but this will not be automatic at boot-up. You could integrate it into your OS, though. You don't mention specifically what your use case is.

Note, as others have pointed out, this is orthogonal from option 82.

Subject: option 82 feature of DHCP

Hi,

I am configuring DHCP server with enabling option 82 features on network switches. My goal is to assign an IP to the server based on server's serial number which I can get it through option 82.

Can someone advise if it is possible and how?

Thanks & Regards,
Hardik
