The dhcpd.conf is not updated.
The file dhcpd.leases would have an entry like
host hello-1 {
dynamic;
hardware ethernet 'the mac address here';
}
Once you will insert it with OMAPI the entry will be recorded in memory
of dhcp as well as in the dhcpd.leases file and yes
it is a real time update. The keyword 'dynamic' tells dhcp server that
this is an OMAPI entry.
You can try command-line omshell tool (look at man omshell for more
info) to verify it for your self.
assuming
i.e. to create
omshell
key key_name key_password (assuming you set up omapi hash key else
ignore this line)
connect
new host
set name="test"
set hardware-address = XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (note no quotes here)
set hardware-type = 1
open
create
now you should see in dhcpd.leases file an entry at the bottom of the
file for test
to query for just created entry do
omshell
connect
new host
set name="test"
open
(you should see now the hardware-address and other info)
to remove host
omshell
connect
new host
set name="test"
remove
I hope this helps
