Subject: [PATCH 0/3] [PATCH 0/3] dhcpv6: Add --dhcpv6-opt for custom DHCPv6 options
Date: Thu,  4 Jun 2026 16:21:47 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604105150.1977905-1-anskuma@redhat.com> (raw)

This series adds a --dhcpv6-opt CODE,VALUE command-line option to
inject custom options into DHCPv6 replies, complementing the existing
--dhcp-opt support for DHCPv4.

The primary use case is UEFI HTTP Boot, which requires Vendor Class
(option 16) with the correct enterprise-number + length-prefixed wire
encoding per RFC 8415 Section 21.16, and Boot File URL (option 59).

Value formats are determined automatically from the option code via a
type table. Supported types include plain strings, IPv6
addresses (single and list), 8/16/32-bit integers, vendor class
(ENTERPRISE:DATA), and length-prefixed string lists.

Patch 1 adds the CLI flag, storage, and basic man page entry.
Patch 2 adds the type table and binary parser for all supported types.
Patch 3 injects the parsed options into DHCPv6 reply packets.

  conf: Add --dhcpv6-opt command-line option
  dhcpv6: Add option type table and value parser
  dhcpv6: Inject custom options into DHCPv6 replies
