DHCP Option 161/162

[Infrastructure Group]

Hi all,

I have a client connecting to our FTP server to download the configuration for its branch's terminals (screen resolution, time, date, etc..)

this is the configuration:

!

ip dhcp pool BLA

   network x.x.x.x 255.255.255.0

   dns-server x.x.x.x

   default-router x.x.x.x

   option 161 ip x.x.x.x

   option 162 ascii "/wyse/clientA/headoffice"

!

If I'd like to dedicate a specific configuration for just one terminal (one IP) and leave the other ones with the conf that i have now, is there a way to do it?

Thanks.

Find out the client id of this dhcp client with "show ip dhcp binding", then create a host based pool (reservation):

ip dhcp pool HOST1

host x.x.x.x 255.255.255.0

client-id

etc.

very good idea.

thanks.

would I need to create a dedicated file ina  dedicated directory?

you can do whatever you want with that, a separate file would do
