I've been trying to get mac addresses with a certain OUI into a certain address pool. I haven't been able to get it to work at all. Here is a snippet of my dhcpd.conf and how it's applied.
class "testphones" {
match hardware;
}
subclass "testphones" 1:00:07:3b:cb:c9:cf;
class "avaya-9630" {
match if substring(hardware,1,3) = "00:07:3b";
}
subnet 172.18.16.0 netmask 255.255.248.000 {
option subnet-mask 255.255.248.000;
option broadcast-address 172.18.23.255;
option routers 172.18.16.1;
option avaya-242 "OPTIONS"
pool {
range 172.18.18.1 172.18.23.254;
deny members of "testphones";
deny members of "avaya-9630";
}
}
subnet 10.X.128.0 netmask 255.255.248.000 {
option subnet-mask 255.255.248.000;
option broadcast-address 10.X.135.255;
option routers 10.X.128.5;
option avaya-242 "OPTIONS";
pool {
range 10.X.129.1 10.X.134.255;
allow members of "testphones";
allow members of "avaya-9630";
}
}
I don't get any of the mac addresses to match the "avaya-9630" class. They all get handed IPs from the first (172.18.16.0/21) subnet. The "testphone" does work, though. It goes into the 10.X subnet.
Why does the "testphone" class work but not the "avaya-9630" class?
One thing that might cause a problem is I'm using a petty old version of ISC DHCP (3.0.1). I don't know if the syntax is different for that older version. The man pages seem to indicate I'm doing it right.
I've tried various iterations of the "match" line. I tested with the following:
match if substring(hardware,1,3) = "1:00:07:3b";
match if substring(hardware,0,3) = "1:00:07:3b";
match if substring(hardware,1,4) = "1:00:07:3b";
None worked.
Your thoughts are appreciated.
