Parameters
rule rule-number: Assigns the match rule an ID in the range of 1 to 16. A smaller ID represents a
higher match priority.
option option-code: Matches a DHCP option by a number in the range of 1 to 254.
hex hex-string: Matches the specified hexadecimal string in the option. The length of the
hexadecimal string must be an even number in the range of 2 to 256. If you do not specify this option,
the DHCP server only checks whether the specified option exists in the received packets.
mask mask: Specifies the mask used to match the option content. The mask argument is a
hexadecimal string, whose length is an even number in the range of 2 to 256. The length of mask
must be the same as that of hex-string.
offset offset: Specifies the offset used to match the option, in the range of 0 to 254 bytes. If you do
not specify this option, the server matches the entire option with the rule.
length length: Matches the specified length of the option, in the range of 1 to 128 bytes. The
specified length must be the same as the hex-string length.
Usage guidelines
You can configure multiple match rules for a DHCP user class. Each match rule is uniquely identified
by a rule ID. Different match rules can include the same option code, but they cannot have the same
matching criteria.
The DHCP server compares DHCP requests against the match rules. A DHCP client matches a
DHCP user class when its request matches one of the specified match rules.
The match operation follows these guidelines:
•
If only the option-code argument is specified in the rule, packets containing the option match the
rule.
•
If the option-code and hex-string arguments are specified in the rule, packets that have the
specified hexadecimal string in the specified option match the rule.
•
If the option-code, hex-string, offset and length arguments are specified in the rule, packets
match the rule as long as their content from offset+1 bit to offset+length bit in the specified
option is the same as the specified hexadecimal string.
•
If the option-code, hex-string, and mask arguments are specified in the rule, the DHCP server
ANDs the content from the first bit to the mask-1 bit in the specified option with the mask. Then
the server compares the result with the result of the AND operation between hex-string and
mask. If the two results are the same, the received packet matches the rule.
