Description

I need to configure DHCP like this:

# ...
option space ubnt;
option ubnt.unifi-address code 1 = ip-address;
 class "ubnt" {
       match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 4) = "ubnt";
       option vendor-class-identifier "ubnt";
       vendor-option-space ubnt;
}
 subnet 10.10.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
       range 10.10.10.100 10.10.10.160;
       option ubnt.unifi-address 201.10.7.31; ### UniFi Controller IP ###
       option routers 10.10.10.2;
       option broadcast-address 10.10.10.255;
       option domain-name-servers 168.95.1.1, 8.8.8.8;
       # ...
 }

but i got:

For the time being please see the instructions at https://docs.vyos.io/en/latest/services/dhcp.html#dhcp-server about the pre and post usage of "

So if you need to place anything in quotes refer to the " string as it will be rendered correctly in to the config.

Maybe there will be a better option one day. Right now we only have https://github.com/vyos/vyos-1x/blob/current/src/conf_mode/dhcp_server.py#L816

c-po, thanks a lot, didn't see this trick... There is too much different docs. We need to combine in one place. Here is nothing about quotes... :-( https://wiki.vyos.net/wiki/DHCP_server

(It's possible to spy decision on Ubnt, this issue solved there, in attach:)

@hexes that's why there is a big banner on top indicating this page is outdated and links you to the new docs.

Well that's a vendor specific option from UBNT for UBNT and can not be imported. As VyOS now uses a more modern CLI generator this could be easily extended by you.

Use a new <leafNode name="unifi-controller"> in https://github.com/vyos/vyos-1x/blob/current/interface-definitions/dhcp-server.xml.in#L92-L96
and then read the value as the example here: https://github.com/vyos/vyos-1x/blob/current/src/conf_mode/dhcp_server.py#L425-L427

As I'm a UBNT Wireless user too I'm happy for a pull request
