    Hello all,

    Due to internal networking issues beyond my control, I have
    several SunRay 1's that cannot get their bootp packets to
    the SunRay server (v2.0). As a result, I would like to have a nearby
    Linux server simply give the SunRay configuration parameters
    via dhcp. If I can give the SunRay client the AuthSrvr parameter,
    it should be able to route to the SunRay server and appropriately
    connect.

    However, the SunRay manual is a bit less than clear
    when it comes to how to specify the options in a dhcpd.conf
    file (using encapsulated vendor options).

    Specifically, I am looking to include the following (snipped
    from the SunRay 2.0 Server manual):

                    Vendor ID Code Type
    AuthSrvr Vendor=SUNW.NewT.SUNW, 21, IP, 1,1 Mandatory

    Does anyone have a sample dhcpd.conf file that they used to
    respond to a SunRay client bootp request? Otherwise, could
    anyone assist with including this as an encapsulated vendor
    option?

    Will post the response to the list and the web. Thanks in
    advance!

    Aaron
