Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Extending the DHCP dissector

["Borz, John (IPG-Roseville R&D)" <john.borz@xxxxxx>]

That's what I was looking for.  I would like to extend a production Wireshark installation to support decoding these options similar to the  new dissector DLL plugin model.  Is this possible with the built-in dissectors?

thanks,
John

You would have to modify the BOOTP dissector.

A way to add plugin dissectors for options might be useful.
