Problem:

SLP DA + DHCP OPTION 78, 79 FOR OES LINUX

This tip will help you to configure SLP DA and DHCP to send to option 78 and 79 on OES Linux.

Solution:

1. Configure SLP DA on your OES Linux.

Edit: /etc/slp.conf

Add this to slp.conf ( This is an example )

net.slp.useScopes = DEFAULT
net.slp.DAAddresses = 192.168.1.1 
net.slp.isDA = true
net.slp.isBroadcastOnly = false

2. Configure DHCP with SLP OPTIONS

Edit: /etc/dhcpd.conf

Add this to dhcpd.conf ( This is an example )

option nds-servers 192.168.1.1;
option slp-directory-agent true 192.168.1.1;
option slp-service-scope true "DEFAULT";
option netbios-node-type 8;
option domain-name "adaris.ca";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
option routers 192.168.1.254;
authoritative;
ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 604800;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask {
  range 192.168.1.50 192.168.1.100;
  default-lease-time 6040800;
}

Restart both services

/etc/init.d/slpd restart
/etc/init.d/dhcpd restart

Testing:

Reboot your Windows machine, open a DOS Windows ( CMD ) and then type SLPINFO /D to verify if your workstation get to good information regarding the DA by DHCP.

You should see something like:

192.168.1.1   DHCP   UP   SLPV1  DEFAULT
