<pre wrap="">Hello all,
This is a Cisco-Linksys e2500 in this case (e4200 also has this problem). I updated the firmware to the latest build 1.0.07 build 1 Nov 29, 2012
The client is still not sending client-identifier (option 61). I had thought that isc-dhcp is supposed to use the mac-address in place of a missing option 61, is this not the case? I know that the client can send either/or, but since it is not sending any, how can I work around this?
I am not seeing any other reason why this client is not accepting the lease. I have discover, and I have an offer but no accept. I have set things like "allow bootp" and "always-broadcast on" to attempt and get this client to accept but neither appears to work.</pre>

You may want to look at the actual packets to see what it is asking
for and whether it is in the reply. That could be a reason to not
accept an address offer. The root cause could very well be something
quite different.<br>

Most Linksys firmware updates of the last 12 months honor the client-identifier, this one doesn't =\
Thanks all!

Subject: Cisco-Linksys doesn't like ISC-DHCP3 (3.1.1)
I work for an ISP with about 8000 customers, we run embedded headless Linux boxes with Ubuntu 9.04 and isc-dhcp3-server 3.1.1
Searching the internet for several days, and playing with options seems to imply there have been issues with 3.x.x ISC-DHCP3 server as well as Linksys -by far, mostly Linksys routers since at least 2007.
Not all Linksys have problems working with our implementation of isc-dhcp3-server (3.1.1 on old Ubuntu 9.04), but many do. I have one particular customer that I'm experimenting with currently, here is the tcpdump:
12:51:45.584597 IP (tos 0x10, ttl 128, id 0, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 328) 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: [udp sum ok] BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 58:6d:8f:79:8c:9d (oui Unknown), length 300, xid 0x1909bf18, Flags [Broadcast] (0x8000)

We have issues with even the e4200 which was a relatively new router out of the Cisco-Linksys camp, has anyone ran into this issue repeatedly and/or resolved it? Some routers/firmware work fine, others dont, so this is not a consistent issue. I've seen reference to 3.1.1 having issues, but Linksys... many issues.
Thoughts?
Best,
-Will
