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:
- Configure SLP DA on your OES Linux.
- Configure DHCP with SLP OPTIONS
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
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
