Hi,

I have a question. I will enable DHCP option 191 with 2 IP address. I can set 1 IP address.

This is my dhcp config:

config system dhcp server edit 1 set ntp-service local set default-gateway 10.6.34.1 set netmask 255.255.255.0 set interface "lan" config ip-range edit 1 set start-ip 10.6.34.30 set end-ip 10.6.34.70 next end set timezone-option default set option1 191 '0a01221d' set dns-server1 10.1.34.60 set dns-server2 10.1.34.61 next end

The Cisco command for option 191 is: option 191 ascii pool1=10.1.34.22,10.1.34.29;level=2

Does anybody know how to do it?

Thanks a lot

Regards

This option looks like expecting ascii string. So if that Cisco's config w/ ascii works, I would try:

...

config options

edit 1

set type string

set value "pool1=10.1.34.22,10.1.34.29;level=2"

next

end

...

Then if it doesn't work, compare the packet between Cisco's outputs(working) and FG's outputs(not working).

Maybe you can give this KB article a try (just with your settings):

If it's not working check with a packet trace or wireshark what exactly goes wrong with the DHCP offer
