69series and Ubuntu DHCP server

[Tinos]

Hi all.
Has anyone gotten the 69series to work with DHCP on Ubuntu server? Please advise how you set Option 125 on Ubuntu?
Thank you.

Does this calculation of option 125 help you?

Btw, do you have the mitel calculation tool?
It's a windows tool to do the same, if I am remembering correctly.
If you want a copy, let me know

Mitel have a tool to generate the Option 125 data. You probably need some support contract to download it from Mitel, however a search online will find it.
It's a HEX encoded string so its much easier using the tool than trying to encode this manually - although if you are good at scripting I'm guessing it wouldn't be too difficult?
Another option is using Vendor Classes and Option 43. This is easier as its ASCII. Not sure how you setup Vendor Classes on Ubuntu though - I'm sure Google will provide the necessary though.
This helped me with the Vendor Class/Option 43 configuration, however it is Windows:

If you define 125 as hex and use the mitel tool to generate the string for 125 it should work. When Mitel first started using 125, did this on a linux box, had to add : in the string, but phones saw it and booted using it.
