Just in case, did you created a Vendor Class in your DHCP Server? and which kind of OS are you using?

I haven’t created a Vendor Class in DHCP. Do I need to? And I don’t know what OS DHCP is running on. I use a web portal to access my WAN providers DHCP service. This allows me to configure entries.

This isn’t a ‘how’ question. I’E I’m not asking how to configure DHCP option 43. I’m trying to work out what needs to go in the otion.

*option

If my UMS server was called ‘igelums01’ and was on IP 192.168.0.1 then I think I would set option 224 to “192.168.0.1” (a string), but option 224 is not available to me.

So, as option 43 is used to send option 224, I’m guessing I set option 43 to 3139322e3136382e302e31 (the hex of 192.168.0.1)

option 43 ascii “IpOFYourUMS”

would fit better. If only Hex isavailable: the the HEx of your UMS IP.

So the hex would be C0A80001 not 311932…. ?

If C0A80001 is your UMS IP, it should yes.

Thanks, will try it when I’m back in the office
