[Kea-users] DHCP options order incompatibility

[Steve Teusch]

Thank you very much for that.  I will implement my order with a hook for now and see if the switch manufacturer will patch this switch.

=> fix the client (or the entity which does not support any order for DHCP options) as it is clearly not RFC compliant.
 BTW the option 82 RAI has a SHOULD to be last, and END/255 must be the very last one possibly followed by PAD/0 simply because anything after is ignored... So there is *nothing* else in RFCs about option order and as far as I know it is at implementor choice (which is different for ISC DHCP and Kea BTW).

Thanks

PS: you can use a hook to pack options in your prefer order.
