Title: Nowtv / sky Lease Requirements Send Options not working for me?
Post by: mannp on March 14, 2021, 01:54:45 pm

Firstly, thanks for the howto re sky uk which is what I am following here -> https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/SkyUK.html# (https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/SkyUK.html#)

I have the following config and am struggling to get an ip address from now tv. The dsl connection appears up and okay.

Qotom Opnsense -> VMG3925-B10B (Modem mode) -> Nowtv (Sky)

I have used wireshark on the original nowtv router and gained the real dhcp-client-identifier and dhcp-class-identifier and used that to enter the details in Lease Requirements’ Send Options field.

Quote

dhcp-client-identifier “12345678@nowtv|12345678”,dhcp-class-identifier “7.16a4N_UNI|PCBAFAST2504Nv1.0”

Sadly when I wireshark the resulting dhcp from opnsense to the modem it doesn't have the client or class identifier set.

If I change the hostname in the dhcp settings I do see that change through wireguard at the modem.

I wondered if the quoted text format for the lease requirements send options field is correct?

Any help would be much appreciated :)

Edit: I should add this results in no ip address being assigned to the nowtv wan interface :-/

If you have copied  the quotes and all from the wiki and just changed the text then you may be victim of the wiki prettify issue, it replaces the quotes with pretty quote marks, so just replace the quotes with standard " ". Try that and see what happens.
