I’ve a Mikrotik hAP_ac and want to send some DHCP options on DHCP request.
Sadly the DHCP offer includes only the basic options.
For testing I’ve created a “test” option, ID: 200 and Value: ‘test’
Than assigned to the DHCP server but on request this option is not offered.
I’ve sniffed with wireshark… Also set IP for CAPsManager but also this option is not offered.
So is this a Software Bug?
The server cannot force any option into the response message it sends (offer, acknowledge) if the client has not asked for it in its request message (discovery, request).
The background idea is that clients indicate which options they understand by asking for them.
So use packet sniffing into file, download the file to your PC, open it using Wireshark, and look what options your client is asking for.
Then, you have to find the correct format of the contents of the option you choose for testing (they differ quite a lot), and you can configure your Mikrotik to provide it.
