Overview

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131

A DHCP header is quite simple. It is composed of:

• a #magic field (Types::Int32) to retrieve it in a BOOTP header,

• a, #options field (Options type, which is a collection of DHCP options).

In PacketGen, a DHCP header is always a secondary header after BOOTP one.

Create a DHCP header

# standalone
dhcp = PacketGen::Header::DHCP.new
# in a packet
pkt = PacketGen.gen('IP').add('BOOTP').add('DHCP')
# access to DHCP header
pkt.dhcp      # => PacketGen::Header::DHCP

Add options

Options may be added these ways:

dhcp = PacketGen::Header::DHCP.new
# Add a lease_time option
dhcp.options << { type: 'lease_time', value: 3600 }
# Add a domain option. Here, use integer type
dhcp.options << { type: 15, value: 'example.net'}
# Add an end option
dhcp.options << { type: 'end' }
# And finish with padding
dhcp.options << { type: 'pad' }
