XG firewall with sky VDSL dhcp-client-identifier

I wanted to try the XG Firewall at home, I currently Run PFSENSE (Modem (Zyxel VMG8924-B10-A) > PFsense (running as VM on Hyper-v) > Home Network)

Sky requires DHCP client option 61 dhcp-client-identifier in order to obtain an external IP. However there is nowhere on the web interface to do this.

My search led me to an instruction of editing "/var/chroot-dhcpc/etc/default.conf" and adding "send dhcp-client-identifier 3132333435......." However when i go into advanced shell "/var/Chroot-dhcpc" dosn't exist.

Am i missing something, or has something changed, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Hi Robert,

I know this does not answer your question, but might provide a guide of where to look.

I will update this thread as I find more documents.

Hi

Thanks for the quick reply, I did see that but it appears to be referring to the firewall being the DHCP server and it's option settings rather than the options for the Wan interface to send on DHCP request.

I have spent quite some time looking and the only solution i have come across is to edit that file via ssh, unfortunate the folder doesn't seem to be there, either because i'm doing something wrong or it has moved.

Hi Rob,

you don't need ssh, you can access those file from the GUI going into console from admin.

I couldn't find any files that looked like what you are after and editing the file will only last until the next upgrade I suspect.

We need one of the Sophos support staff to review this thread and point the right direction. I am sure this has been answered before but I can't find the thread.

Thanks for your help. At least it's not just me not finding the file then. I know this has also been a feature request but it doesn't appear to be getting any motion behind it and my hours of searching haven't bared any fruit. I'll have to accept that i can't use this for now.

Regards
