Hi Scott, everyone....
I have a couple things to add to this dhcp business.
I played around with all this a lot last year (pretty much following the
same order as Scotts detective work) and eventually just came to the
conclusion that the hardware-address field might be legacy for older
clients or something...maybe pure bootp instead of dhcp? Old sun and
other unix type boxes perhaps?
I'm glad to see it wasn't just me that got confused by it all :)
It killed me when studying autoinstall as well - so watch out on that
topic everyone. Those long mac-addresses kept showing up everywhere. So
much for quickly looking up the bia to make life easy - I had to do
debugs or captures in order to find the right string to use.
As a side note about dhcp issues I also noticed on both a 1605R and a
2621 that when I enable CEF I can't get an IP address assigned via dhcp
from my cable internet provider - debugs show the discover go out, an
offer come in, but the router just seems to ignore the offers and keeps
spitting out queries. As soon as I disable cef on that interface it
accepts the IP address - presto. Don't know if this is a bug or normal
behaviour except it means you can't turn on cef on that interface
because if the router reboots it won't acquire a new address and service
stops...
Rgds,
Glenn.
