closedRFE: DHCP Server option pull-down menus, pre-populated data types
0%
Description
It would be great to be able to pull down a menu when setting the advanced DHCP server options. The link given in the help text shows the size but not the data type, so a bit of searching is required
Rather than make everybody search, we could put the standardized values in a value list, and let people chose them from a pop-up menu.
e.g.
Selecting 'interface MTU' would set DHCP Option 26, and pre-select UInt16 as the data type. Then the person would only have to fill in the value himself. Extra points for validating that input. We'd still let people type in stuff manually, of course for odd-ball setups.
Purely an ease-of-use issue, but it would be helpful. If this isn't NAK'ed I'd take a stab at an implementation.
