Dhcpd-plugin

It's a very simple script, it continuosly greps /var/log/syslog looking for DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK lines.

When finding one of those it tries to find out if it's a new device (not already added and not one of the ignored). Then it sends DCE Event #53(New Mac Address Detected) with params #5(MAC) and #28(IP) to DCERouter.

As far as I know then it's processed somewhere in General_Info_Plugin (asking for device type, room and other such stuff), after that it creates device with status set to **RUN_CONFIG**.

After that somebody else will run the configuration script specified in DeviceTemplate. Something like:

/usr/pluto/bin/configure_snom3xx.pl -d  47-i 192.168.80.253 -m 00:04:13:24:25:e9

That script is responsable to correctly configure Snom320, so it could be used almost imediatly.
