Without seeing the actual tcpdump of the dhcp packets, I would guess that this is the Classless Static Route option in DHCPv4 (option 121). See: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3442.txt http://www.iana.org/assignments/bootp-dhcp-parameters/ But tcpdump before dhclient initialization of the interface should show what options are in play (I could be wrong on option 121) tcpdump -vvv -i em0 port bootpc Good Luck. ---Dave H _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
