patch

Hello,

dhcpd/dhclient in Fedora-14 have had support for RFC 3442 implemented since version 4.2.0-4.fc14. See bug #516325.
It's my unofficial implementation but I hope upstream will ever implement it in a similar way.

I was looking into NM to see how much work it would take to add a support for RFC 3442 to NM
and discovered that it's actually already there but for arbitrary format:
option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8;
see https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/dhcp-users/2008-December/007629.html

My format looks like:
option classless-static-routes = array of (destination-descriptor ip-address);

I'm adding a tiny patch, that adds a support for my format of classless-static-route option,
which I hope is same/similar as the official one will be once the upstream implement the RFC 3442.

I have been testing it and it works great.

thanks,
Jiri

Actually the

 	if (tmp > 0)
-		addr_len = ((tmp - 1) / 8) + 1;
+		addr_len = (tmp + 7) / 8;

change is not needed because of the 'if (tmp > 0)' condition.

Comment 2 Dan Williams 2010-10-20 23:10:27 UTC
Given the example from the code:

0 192.168.0.113 25.129.210.177.132 192.168.0.113 7.2 10.34.255.6

what route should that actually be?  Can you break this down for me a bit more?  I can't quite seem to match up the above bits with the examples I have already when I'm writing the testcases.  Thanks!

Comment 3 Jiri Popelka 2010-10-21 10:46:06 UTC
Oh yeah, this example is 'just an example'.
I should have put there something making more sense.
Anyway this string
"0 192.168.0.113 25.129.210.177.132 192.168.0.113 7.2 10.34.255.6"
is array of 3 routes (destination-descriptor router's-ip-address)

dest.descriptor    |  router
-------------------+----------------
0                  |  192.168.0.113
25.129.210.177.132 |  192.168.0.113
7.2                |  10.34.255.6

- the first line means that the default (destination 0.0.0.0/0) router is 192.168.0.113
- the second line means that there's a route with destination 129.210.177.128/25 and router address 192.168.0.113.
This one is example taken from RFC3442:
'For example, if the server sends a route with a destination
of 129.210.177.132 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.128,
the client will install a route with a destination of 129.210.177.128.'
- the third line means that there's a route with destination 2.0.0.0/7 and router address 10.34.255.6

So after the binding the 'ip route show' on client's machine shows:
129.210.177.128/25 via 192.168.0.113 dev eth0 proto static
2.0.0.0/7 via 10.34.255.6 dev eth0 proto static
default via 192.168.0.113 dev eth0 proto static

Did I answer your question ?

Comment 4 Dan Williams 2010-10-21 18:35:24 UTC
Yeah, you did, thanks.  Reworked and pushed to git.  I had to rewrite a bunch of the code to be able to do more complete unit testing of the DHCP RFC3442 route parsing.

thanks!
