Question

I would like to add:

cpe-add-id=123456789

to dnsmasq config, I cannot add via UCI as I get a parse error, due to the hyphens "-"

Is there a way I can add this via the UCI or by adding to a config file somewhere?

Thanks.

Hello,

Could you try the following:

• uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[-1].add_cpe_id='123456789'

Alternatively, you can try to edit /etc/config/dhcp, with a text editor such as vi, and simply add a following line:

• option add_cpe_id '123456879' 

Best regards,

The UCI command added it to the dhcp file, but it had underscores.

Do I need to restart dnsmasq or kill -HUP ?

If added with uci, additionally enter:

• uci commit
• /etc/init.d/dhcp restart 

---

I rebooted and that still does not work

I can hack the /etc/init.d/dnsmasq file and it then works, its not a great solution though

---

I did the uci commit and restart :(

It might be that the option is simply not supported. I was unable to find it OpenWRT list of options.
