Dear Infoblox community,
We are preparing to migrate from ISC DHCP and Bind to Infoblox and I am trying to figure out how to apply the two SLP options. They are multi-variable options with a boolean followed by IP addresses or text strings.
ISC DHCP happily accepts this syntax:
option slp-da true 10.239.8.28 10.239.8.26;
option slp-scope true "DEFAULT";
Infoblox has the two options defined as follows:
"code": 78,
"name": "slp-directory-agent",
"space": "DHCP",
"type": "boolean array of ip-address"
and
"code": 79,
"name": "slp-service-scope",
"space": "DHCP",
"type": "boolean-text"
How do I enter the desired values into Infoblox for these two DHCP options? The Infoblox GUI does not accept any combination of boolean followed by IP address or string that I can think of.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

It just wants a space between them. In the GUI:
In REST:
"options": [ { "name": "slp-directory-agent", "num": 78, "value": "true 1.2.3.4", "vendor_class": "DHCP" }, { "name": "slp-service-scope", "num": 79, "value": "true cheeseburger", "vendor_class": "DHCP" } ]

Thanks MRichard,
Unfortunately I'm still having difficulties with slp-directory-agent. slp-service-scope is accepted happily, I think slp-directory-agent does not like multiple IP addresses.
The IPv4 network DHCP Options dialogue box has this error message:
I could not get the screenshot to upload. Sorry :-(

Use a comma between IP addresses.

Thanks very much! That's sorted it for me.
I don't know how I managed to miss that.
