DHCP client option61

RouterOS General
1

Having a bit of trouble using the Client-ID option on the DHCP client, is this option supposted to be sending the data using dhcp option61?

Trying to get my routerboard to get an IP address from Sky Broadband using a bridged DSL modem, although offically speaking you’re only supposed to use the supplied ADSL Modem/router but it’s a pile of poo.

The ISP’s DHCP server won’t respond to the DHCP request unless I transmit the following in DHCP option 61 Username|Password e.g

1a2b3c4d5e6f@skydsl|zzc7Zovbt5Fpa7B

My actuall password does have some special characters (e.g /) in so If the RB is using option 61 for it’s client I’d I did wonder if it’s not liking one of those.

I know the username/password combo I have is correct as I’ve managed to get a netgear DG834v4 connecting in routed mode.

Any ideas anyone?

I know the username/password I have works since I can get a DG834v4 with dgteam to connect by killing it’s udhcpc and restarting it with the -c argument

But would much rather have the Public IP on the routerboard directly.

hmmm… according to the logs, RouterOS sends 0x00 before the actual Client-Id - is it correct behaviour?..

p.s. on 5.12, I can’t even see ‘client-id’ value in Terminal, neither in ‘print detail’, nor in ‘export’ - can somebody confirm that?..

Neither of the routerboards I can access from here are running 5.12 it seems

One is still on 5.8 and the other on 5.10 :confused:

I can’t get access to my RB at home from here as my firewall rules disallow it.

Had this working in one build think it might have been 5.15 but now it doesn’t work on 5.19

However I changed from adsl to Vdsl and the ISP changed the login so i dont know if thats why there’s some non alphanumeric chars in the login

one thing I did notice during a pcap was the packet from the RB had an extra $ prefixing the string

Sorry to resurrect this but did you ever get this working?

Recently moved to sky fibre (New house without Virgin Media) and I want to replace the SR102 with an OpenReach Modem and RouterOS (RB750). Would be very handy to pick your brains

Thanks
