How to add UniFi Controller to DHCP Options - XG MR-7

Mark H

I need help with adding the DHCP Option 43 to get my unifi devices to see the controller for adoption.

 

So far I'm logged into console with the following:

system dhcp dhcp-options binding add dhcpname UniFi_DHCP optionname Vendor_Encapsulated_Options(43) value ''.

What do I put in the value - lets say my controller hostname is unifi.example.com and it's IP Address is 1.2.3.4 ?

    Mark,

    as you can see by using TAB button,

    system dhcp dhcp-options add optioncode 43 optionname unifi optiontype

    you can add the following options as optiontype:

    array-of   boolean    four-byte  ipaddress  one-byte   string     two-byte 

    I guess you should use IPaddress.

    Regards

    If I use your method it says option 43 is already used which it is by the vendor encapsulation.

    I’m looking for what value I need to pass in the dhcp options as I’ve written to get the devices to see my controller

    I found a how-to with UTM, but xG does not offer a GUI config for it.

    Option 43 currently is set using a string, so maybe I need to convert my IP to hex?

    Sorry Mark but I did not understand the question.

    Can you share what you would do on UTM?

    Thanks
