Add Pano Logic Vendor Class for Alcatel/Lucent VitalQIP DHCP ServerIn VitalQIP you must create a Client Class based on Vendor Class, so that DHCP hands out a particular DHCP Option 43 value to Pano devices that include the Vendor Class value of Pano Logic in addition to the normal options associated with the IP address.
1. Convert the IP address of the Pano Manager to hexadecimal by using this tool to find the hex value of each octet. For example, 10.220.100.29 converts to 0a-DC-64-1D.
a.
b. From Available Classes/Values, find and expand Application and Services Parameters, select Vendor Specific Information (43,vs), then click Add.
c.
• The first byte (01) is the code.
• The second byte (04) is the length.
• The remaining bytes comprise the IP address of the Pano Manager after it has been converted to hex format (for example, 10.220.100.29 converts to 0a-DC-64-1D.). Use this tool to convert the IP address to hex.
d. Give this DHCP Option Template a name, such as Pano Logic–without quotes.
a.
b. Type a text value such as Pano Logic–without quotes–for the Client Class name, and type the correct value for Vendor Class.The Client Class must match Option 60 in the template and the value sent by the clients in their DHCP Discover.
c. From the Option Template drop-down list, assign the appropriate DHCP Template that these Pano devices should use, then click OK to save.
4. Assign this Client class–Pano Logic–to the DHCP server:
a.
b. In the Server Profile, click on the parameter Client Class. The Available Value shows the Client Class that you defined above.You can have several Client Classes active on one server: one for Pano device and perhaps others for other types of devices.
5. Be sure that the Server Profile does NOT have the policy ForceClass=Vendor set.Afterward, the dhcpd.conf file shows a vendor-class definition at the end as well as the subnet definitions.When the DHCP server receives a DHCP-Discover from a certain subnet with a certain Vendor class, it will give out a lease from that subnet with the DHCP Template options defined for that subnet, plus the DHCP options which are defined for that vendor class.The DHCP options associated with the Vendor class will override those associated with the IP object or its subnet.
