Enabling DHCP auth options 60 and 61 on Netgear Voxel Routers for Sky UK etc

[tarassippo]

Indeed... besides, I am not able to locate that net-wan file...

a workaround could be done, even if you upgraded the FW (would need a customized Voxel build of course)
1. Configure your Internet Setup with PPPoE, have your Username and Password stored (need to press Apply)
2. Re-configure your Internet Setup as DHCP as it is supposed to be
3. Modify /etc/init.d/net-wan in setup_interface_dhcp() function with following changes

local u_wan_domain=$($CONFIG get wan_domain)
+local dhcp_opt61
+[ "x$($CONFIG get wan_pppoe_passwd)" != "x" ] && dhcp_opt61="-c \"$($CONFIG get wan_pppoe_username)|$($CONFIG get wan_pppoe_passwd)\""
.
.

udhcpc -b -i $WAN_IF -h $u_hostname -r $($CONFIG get wan_dhcp_ipaddr) -N $($CONFIG get wan_dhcp_oldip) $dhcp_opt61 ${u_wan_domain:+-d $u_wan_domain} &
else
udhcpc -b -i $WAN_IF -h $u_hostname -r $($CONFIG get wan_dhcp_ipaddr) -N $($CONFIG get wan_dhcp_oldip) $dhcp_opt61 ${u_wan_domain:+-d $u_wan_domain}

4. Save the changes and reboot, you should be able to configure/keep this configuration works for your DHCP option 60/61.

If Voxel can consider similar change and make it to his build, then those users could minimize the efforts to make, and keep, it work.

Oh yes, if Voxel would decide to add this feature in his firmware it would be awesome

Which is the command to edit a file? vi ?

Yes.

I have an add-on for this function.
But I can't test it.
Anyone interested in testing it?

Yes, I am. On sky in the UK. Which uses this DHCP Option. I currently use vi to edit the config file manually

Sorry to revive this old thread, but I will soon replace my R7000 with an R7800 and being with Sky I'd be very interested in understanding which way is the best to set up DHCP 60/61...

I have it in my add-on.
Just need someone to test it, before I make a Beta-test-release.

Thanks kamoj, so when I get hold of the router I will follow the instructions as per the following post https://www.snbforums.com/threads/k...800-x4s-and-r9000-x10-temperatures-a-o.55063/

Is that right ?

 

[kamoj]

The option 60+61 is not in the version 4 of my add-on.
It's in the not yet released v5.
When are you changing router?
And have you skills enough to do some linux command lines things?

Linux skills not really, and hopefully I'll be able to get the router on Thursday

Hi kamoj,
I can test your addon if you want,
for my ISP i have already modified the file net-wan to add option -V, do i need top revert to stock file ?

 

[kamoj]

I'm trying to make a complete beta-test-version ready this week.
I'll need help from @Voxel to administer the test-release though.

You mean ipk packages? No problems. If testing on R9000 - a bit later. I am far from my routers... But I am able to access my development machine remotely (ipk).

Hi kamoj, I've got the router eventually and I'd be very keen to try your add-on...

 

[kamoj]

Keep your eyes open tomorrow.
I don't promise anything though.

Meanwhile I'm trying to follow Voxel's instructions on how to gain SSH access (appendix A of his README file), and can you advise what I'm doing wrong as I'm stuck on point no. 7

[tarassippo]

Ah never mind, I realised the silly mistake I made...

Looks like an early Christmas present is coming!!!
