For testing purposes, I'm attempting to set dhcp-renewal-time to 10% of
dhcp-lease-time. But I can't seem to figure out the right way to specify
dhcp-lease-time in a numeric expression.
Here's what I've tried:
(1) supersede dhcp-renewal-time = encode-int(lease-time / 10, 32);
(2) supersede dhcp-renewal-time =
encode-int(extract-int(option dhcp-lease-time, 32) / 10, 32);
(3) supersede dhcp-renewal-time = encode-int(3000 / 10, 32);
Results:
(1) Fails with error: "data: leased_lease: not available"
(2) No error, but doesn't produce any dhcp-renewal-time option in
the leases file. (Perhaps because extract-int() returns null?)
(3) Using a constant works, so apparently the rest of the
expression is correct.
Any ideas?
