I have a Dell PowerConnect 5524.

Writing

SW01(config-dhcp)# option 43 hex f104ac1338fa 

getting

 Option code 43 is not a valid HEX string. 

Strange. On a tsiska accepted. I read the user guide:

hex hex-string — Specifies hexadecimal data: each byte in hexadecimal character strings is two hexadecimal digits. Bytes are separated by a period or colon

I try

 SW01(config-dhcp)# option ip-list Specify an IP address list. POSITIVE INTEGER Specify the DHCP option code number SW01(config-dhcp)# option 43 ascii ASCII. hex Specify Option type as Hexadecimal. ip Specify Option type as IP address. SW01(config-dhcp)# option 43 hex WORD Specify Option type as Hexadecimal. SW01(config-dhcp)# option 43 hex f1.04.ac.13.38.fa Option code 43 is not a valid HEX string. SW01(config-dhcp)# option 43 hex f1:04:ac:13:38:fa Option code 43 is not a valid HEX string. 

Attention - a question! How do I give option 43 from this switch?

Thank you in advance for all the good time!

  • And if you use ip or ascii ? option 43 ip 172.19.56.250 or option 43 ascii "172.19.56.250" - Andrew Hobbit
  • The ip address transferred to ascii works for points of the 1100 series, for the 1600 and 1700 series does not work. SW01(config-dhcp)# option 43 ip 172.19.56.250 result Option code 43 is not a valid IP address. - Valery
