vendor specific routes

[morete]

I can add classless static routes but not vendor specific ones like "ms-classless-static-routes".
Not sure if it is not supported or I'm not able to find a way to make it work.

Without more information, I cannot tell also. Need sourcecode snapshot, returned error exceptions and relevant server config parts

This is most propably an issue of used datatypes.

For example DHCP Option Definitions are:

option new-static-routes code 249 = string;
option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of integer 8;
option ms-classless-static-routes code 249 = array of integer 8;

My guess would be that you need to match the types.

so I think it is a problem with the format...
we added appending static routes to the "add_host" function like this:

stmts.append('supersede classless-static-routes {0};'.format(static_routes))

and static_routes contains "16.11.11 10.10.10.1"

I think somehow for the regular "classless-static-routes" works as that expects a string but when trying to append a "ms-classless-static-routes" then string is not valid... so the following line does not add anything:
stmts.append('supersede ms-classless-static-routes {0};'.format(static_routes))

the DHCP has the option:
option ms-classless-static-routes code 249 = array of integer 8;

how do I get the data type matching?

Hi,
I'm working on the same issue, about adding ms-classless-static-routes. We are having a hard time setting the variable to match the data type. The variable now looks like:

c_ms_route = "16,10,25,10,15,15,1"

and we append it to omapi message like:

stmts.append('supersede ms-classless-static-routes {0};'.format(c_ms_route))

then, the result in dhcpd lease file is:

    supersede ms-classless-static-routes = concat (concat (concat (concat (
                                                                           concat
                                                                          (
                                                                         concat
                                                                          (10
                                                                         ,
                                                                           "d")
                                                                         ,
                                                                           "h")
                                                                           ,
                                                                           "d")
                                                                   , "h"),
                                                           fa), 01);

How can we format our variable so that it would look "better" in the lease file?

ms-classless-static-routes is expecting an array of bytes (array of integer 8). So my guess is you would need to convert your routes accordingly. See pack_ip for example for using that on a full ip address. You might need to adapt that function for sizes different than 4 and your list of c_ms_route to be split by comma.
If you do it the right way, this should show up as

supersede ms-classless-static-routes = 10:0a:...;

in the lease file.

I see that the pack_ip function returns something like:
>>> pypureomapi.pack_ip("128.132.193.1")
'\x80\x84\xc1\x01'
could this format be compatible with the 'array of integer 8' needed for the ms-classless-static-routes? I've tried different combinations but no success up to now, but the 'supersede ms-classless...' line does not show in my leases file.
