Transfer of static routes to DHCP
Write in the main section of the configuration file of DHCP server:
option ms-classless-static-routes code 249 = array of unsigned integer 8; option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8;
add this in section subnet or host:
option ms-classless-static-routes 16, 172,16, 10,16,40,100; option rfc3442-classless-static-routes 16, 172,16, 10,16,40,100;
where
16 (mask) 172.16.0.0 (network) 10.16.40.100 (gateway)
here is script to generate content “option classless-route” in hexadecimal notation for older versions of dhcpd:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
# Usage:
# make_classless_option({ "subnet/mask" => "router", "subnet/mask" => "router", ... });
# subnet the subnet address, 4 dot-separated numbers
# mask the subnet mask length (e.g. /24 corresponds to 255.255.255.0, /8 corresponds to 255.0.0.0)
# router the router address, 4 dot-separated numbers
sub make_classless_option{
my $routes = shift;
my ($s1, $s2, $s3, $s4, $len, @bytes, $net, $mask, $destination, $router);
$len = 2;
@bytes = ();
foreach $destination(keys %{$routes}) {
($net, $mask) = split('/', $destination);
$router = $routes->{$destination};
($s1, $s2, $s3, $s4) = split(/\./, $net);
push(@bytes, sprintf('%02x', $mask));
push(@bytes, sprintf('%02x', $s1));
push(@bytes, sprintf('%02x', $s2)) if($mask > 8);
push(@bytes, sprintf('%02x', $s3)) if($mask > 16);
push(@bytes, sprintf('%02x', $s4)) if($mask > 24);
($s1, $s2, $s3, $s4) = split(/\./, $router);
push(@bytes, sprintf('%02x', $s1));
push(@bytes, sprintf('%02x', $s2));
push(@bytes, sprintf('%02x', $s3));
push(@bytes, sprintf('%02x', $s4));
}
return join(':', @bytes);
}
# Example of use
print make_classless_option({
"10.230.0.0/16" => "10.230.178.145"
});
One Comment
A default route should be pushed when using 121 (classless-routes), so you want:
print make_classless_option({
“0.0.0.0/0” => “10.230.178.254”, # or what ever your gateway is
“10.230.0.0/16” => “10.230.178.145”
});
But this fails as the first octal (0) is printed as well as the mask (0) so you get 00:00 where you should only use a single zero.
To fix replace:
push(@bytes, sprintf(‘%02x’, $mask));
push(@bytes, sprintf(‘%02x’, $s1));
push(@bytes, sprintf(‘%02x’, $s2)) if($mask > 8);
push(@bytes, sprintf(‘%02x’, $s3)) if($mask > 16);
push(@bytes, sprintf(‘%02x’, $s4)) if($mask > 24);
with:
push(@bytes, sprintf(‘%02x’, $mask));
push(@bytes, sprintf(‘%02x’, $s1)) if($mask);
push(@bytes, sprintf(‘%02x’, $s2)) if($mask > 8);
push(@bytes, sprintf(‘%02x’, $s3)) if($mask > 16);
push(@bytes, sprintf(‘%02x’, $s4)) if($mask > 24);
Thanks for the handy script!
Cheers,
