Gargoyle Forum

Hi guys,

I've been looking all over the Internet for how to setup the DHCP in order for the APC UPS to work.
APC UPS had by default the DHCP cookie enabled and I know I could disable the cookie setting from the network card but I can't as it is a remote unit.

Please advise if you have the settings that need to go in the /etc/config/network or /etc/config/dhcp

I've been trying several options so far without success.
In both files specified I was adding the following lines in the lan section:

option vendorclass 'APC'
option vendor-encapsulated-options '010431415043’
option sendopts ‘0x2b:010431415043’

Yet, it didn't work.

Kindly help me out if you can.

Thank you.

You might get a better answer for this question at OpenWRT?

Hi ispyisail,
Thank you for the suggestion. I'm sure I'm not the only one looking for this. I've seen some questions and answers regarding the APC UPS DHCP vendor option on OpenWrt but it is not working for Gargoyle. I was wondering if somebody managed to get it working. It would be great if somebody would share their findings.

I very much appreciate all the great work you guys are doing.

Regards,
Adrian

In basic terms Gargoyle is just a GUI for Openwrt. If you use command line most Openwrt commands work.

Can you supply the openwrt page link regarding the APC UPS DHCP
