pfSense

Thank you for updating the ticket -- any comments on whether this feature is under consideration? Maybe even a simple checkbox somewhere in the GUI e.g.

[x] include dhcpd-custom.conf if found

Then if a user creates the /var/dhcpd/etc/dhcpd-custom.conf file, it would be added to the running config during generation (at their own peril of course)

I would second that, please add a possibility to add additonal dhcpd.conf options, for example i would like to implement mac whitelisting the following way:

1. generate a allowed-clients.conf by a script to have a huge whitelist of allowed mac-adresses dhcpd would provide an ip for (as in pfsense i can only use the gui to add static leases)
2. make dhcpd use that by include directive and "allow members of..." statement.

example:

dhcpd.conf:

include "/etc/allowed-clients.conf";

<snip>
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
pool {
range 10.0.0.100 10.0.0.200;
allow members of "allowed-clients";
}

option routers 10.0.0.1;
    option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.1;

}

allowed-clients.conf
class "allowed-clients" {
match if ( binary-to-ascii(16,8, ":",substring(hardware,1,6)) = "11:22:33:44:55:66" )
or ( binary-to-ascii(16,8, ":",substring(hardware,1,6)) = "11:22:33:44:55:67")
<snipp>
or ( binary-to-ascii(16,8, ":",substring(hardware,1,6)) = "22:33:44:55:66:77");
log(info,concat ("logdebug: hardware=",binary-to-ascii(16, 8, ":", substring(hardware,1,6) ) ) );
}
