[Dnsmasq-discuss] Migrating from ISC to dnsmasq -- netboot/netinstall

[John Pearson]

Hi, I am currently trying to migrate my netboot configuration from ISC to
dnsmasq. I am using the exact same TFTP server, HTTP sever to serve the
image, image files and location. Just switching out ISC with dnsmasq.

*ISC dhcpd.conf:*

ddns-update-style none;
ddns-updates off;
ignore client-updates;
allow booting;
authoritative;
boot-unknown-clients on;
ping-check off;
one-lease-per-client on;
default-lease-time 7200;
max-lease-time 7200;
allow-unknown-clients;

class "netboot" {

match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "AAPLBSDPC";
option dhcp-parameter-request-list 1,3,17,43,60;

if (option dhcp-message-type = 1) {
option vendor-class-identifier "AAPLBSDPC";
option vendor-encapsulated-options
08:04:81:00:00:89; # bsdp option 8 (length 04) --
selected image id;
} elsif (option dhcp-message-type = 8) {
option vendor-class-identifier "AAPLBSDPC";
if (substring(option vendor-encapsulated-options, 0, 3) = 01:01:01) {
log(debug, "bsdp_msgtype_list");

With the same config the mac is able to boot from ISC config but not
from dnsmasq. Does anyone have any tips on converting the conf to
dnsmasq?


Thanks
