For Chorus UFB:

We do not apply DHCP option 82 for Bitstream 3/3a.

If we did, it would make it difficult for you to differentiate DHCP request on different customer VLANs, as they would all get the same DHCP circuit and customer ID information.

 

Bitstream 3 and 3a are intended to be transparent services – so we don’t mess with traffic on these.

 

Cheers,

Brent

Do you know if the circuit was ordered with the "DHCP option"?

 

 

I've looked through the form with our service delivery team a week or so ago and could see no options relating to DHCP on the form for ordering. I can also see no option regarding DHCP for Bitstream3a in our on-boarding forms.

 

In summary so far.

 

Some replies on list don't believe this is normal behaviour for an ethernet service.

 

Craig Whitmore believes that 0 is a valid length for sub-option 2 under DHCP option 82.

 

I've had some useful replies off list offering to help to sort this out and suggesting/guessing what might be causing this. 

 

I'll follow up with these off-list emails today and try and work out what is going wrong here.

 

Note, I'm not trying to 'name and shame' here. Just trying to work out if this is normal for BS3a and if it commonly causes issues.

 

I'll update this list when I know more.

 

Cheers

Dave
