help with DHCP server functionality

[Duane Cox]

OK, that solved my dilemma of no Pool-Name defined, thanks!

What are other operators doing to determine the appropriate pool?
Should there be some unlang in policy.conf to update the control to the
appropriate name?
Or perhaps an SQL function?

Thanks,
Duane

My policy.conf has this:

#============
#  Assign compatibility data to request for sqlippool
dhcp_sqlippool.post-auth {


#  Do some minor hacks to the request so that it looks #  like a RADIUS
request to the SQL IP Pool module.
update control {
Pool-Name = "DHCP-default"
}
update request {
....
#============

... and my sites-available/dhcp has additional instructions:
#============
#   * Create sqlippool table, if you haven't done so already.
#       * Import the schema (see sql/mysql/ipool.sql).
#       * Populate the records. At minimum each row must have
#         Framed-IP-Address and Pool-Name = 'DHCP-default' (or whatever
#         you set 'Pool-Name' to on policy.conf).
#       * If you want to use static IP allocation, create a row on
#         radippol table with 'callingstationid' set to client's MAC
#         address (e.g. '00:16:3E:02:15:6B') and expiry time far in the
#         future (e.g. '3000-01-01 00:00:00').
#============


Try updating your policy.conf and follow that instruction.

If that works for you, I'll probably send a git pull request to update
instructions in the included config files.
