U-boot users:
I have been searching the list and reading source code trying to figure out if something that acomplishes vendor class ids or user class ids has been implemented in u-boot's dhcp services. (microsoft has a few articles that discuss uses of class IDS. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/266675)
What I am trying to acomplish is this: I would like to be able to set slightly different DHCP options when the DHCP request comes from a board running u-boot. The point of this is to provide a shorter lease time (so we don't exceed the size of the address pool when testing boards) and also to allow different TFTP server addresses to be sent to these boards.
I see that bp_vend[OPT_SIZE] exists in struct type Bootp_t. Is this a vendor class id? I see around line 334 in bootp.c this is coppied from BOOTP_VENDOR_MAGIC. Is setting a vendor class ID as simple as setting a value for BOOTP_VENDOR_MAGIC in the config file? I cannot find an example in any other board files.
Thanks,
Jeffrey Mann
