Feature: define a custom user-class #1

Closed btravouillon closed 4 years ago

btravouillon commented 4 years ago

Identify this iPXE ROM as "BlueBanquise". It allows to discriminate this ROM from other iPXE ROM that may not comply with BlueBanquise's PXE chain. Comply with RFC 3004 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3004).

Note: RFC 3004 defines the DHCP user class as a set of length-value tuples, but iPXE treats it as a string. You can choose to manually construct a value which conforms to RFC 3004 using the set command. This is a long-standing bug both in iPXE and in the reference DHCP server implementation (ISC dhcpd). There is a substantial amount of documentation which suggests checking option 77 for the value 'iPXE' to identify iPXE clients, and using 'set user-class ' to specify a custom user class. To avoid breaking existing setups, iPXE will continue to provide option 77 as a plain string for DHCPv4. (Source: http://ipxe.org/cfg/user-class)

Dear @actatux ,

Many thanks for this feature. :-)

Merging right now, and will generate new iPXE rpms soon.

With my best regards

Ben
