Adding via logic multiple devices to a CLASS

[Patrick Trapp]

Sorry, I have not been following this closely and may not be understanding your requirements. I had a problem in my dhcp.conf where I needed to isolate specific MAC addresses and did so with host entries.

To make them more manageable, I am using an include file consisting of only related host entries, as in all devices of type X are in the same include file. When I need to add a new one, I can copy one of the existing entries, very important for those folks that assist me irregularly that don't know why or how it works. I name the device to facilitate finding it later (they are end-user devices associated with customer accounts and occasionally need to be removed or rarely modified) and use grep on all files in the parent directory to find them.

If this is sounding remotely pertinent, I would be happy to share specifics when I return to my office tomorrow.

Thanks for the help. I have no way of controlling or predicting the vendor identifiers.  Anything from that agent.id<http://agent.id> will end up in the same range.

I suspect that subclasses are what you are after. Not sure from looking at the examples in the man page how it would work with two match clauses (ie substring(option vendor-class-identifier,0,6) != "docsis" and a MAC address) as the examples only show a single match on MAC address. I suspect you might end up with something like :

class "MODEMCLIENT" {
  match concat ( substring(option vendor-class-identifier,0,6), suffix( option agent.remote-id, 6) )
  ...
}

subclass "MODEMCLIENT" concat("??????", 1:7c:b2:1b:9d:7e:fc) ;

Do you know what the vendor class identifiers are for the devices you are trying to serve (ie the ?????? above) ? I take it you can't just use the agent.remote-id on it's own ?
