How to specify a dhcp option in hex? External links Options

[Dave Howe]

Hi all,

I need to add some custom PXE options to option code 43 to emulate an existing pxe environment in my test lab, but have hit a snag - most of the characters are not printable, and 0x format doesn't seem to work for strings - wireshark capture just shows the hex digits being sent as ascii codes.

is there any way to send arbitrary bytes as hex in the current build, or will I need to patch the source?

Options should be entered as the values in the snmpget command. For instance 43 should be entered as "i 43".
