From 26fb342c734061859fec1bd9e987bb6b78061ef0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li RongQing Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2015 16:54:36 +0800 Subject: ipconfig: send Client-identifier in DHCP requests A dhcp server may provide parameters to a client from a pool of IP addresses and using a shared rootfs, or provide a specific set of parameters for a specific client, usually using the MAC address to identify each client individually. The dhcp protocol also specifies a client-id field which can be used to determine the correct parameters to supply when no MAC address is available. There is currently no way to tell the kernel to supply a specific client-id, only the userspace dhcp clients support this feature, but this can not be used when the network is needed before userspace is available such as when the root filesystem is on NFS. This patch is to be able to do something like "ip=dhcp,client_id_type, client_id_value", as a kernel parameter to enable the kernel to identify itself to the server.
