  • ISC DHCP Client and Relay End of Maintenance
    1 project | /r/linuxadmin | 21 Apr 2023
    The gitlab says they'll update the tools if security issues are found but otherwise the project is archived. The DHCPv4 client is about 25 years old. I think if there were a major bug we would have found it by now.
  • How to set option 132 in Linux DHCPD.conf
    1 project | /r/linuxadmin | 16 Jan 2023
    Option 132 is not in the standard list of options, otherwise you could just use its name. Have you tried naming it "option-132" instead of "vlan-id"? Some older versions of dhcpd required that instead of the first line where you define the option.
