Accepted [ER-7206] Is it possible to add an option 60 parameter to DHCP requests on WAN interfaces?
Dear all,
I am considering replacing my current FTTH router by a TP-Link ER7206. However my ISP requires the device to populate the Option 60 parameter of DHCP requests made by the router to get an Internet (WAN) IP address assigned.
I did not see a way to populate that Option 60 through the web configuration interface. Is there a way to do it via CLI ?
Thank you so much for your help.

Hello @Fae !
DHCP Option: Vendor Class Identifier String (Option 60)
DHCP Option: Client Identifier String (Option 61)
on the WAN ports of the Omada range routers during the next firmware update ???

@Multiplex Can we still believe in this feature ? Personally, I start being hopeless :-(

@Multiplex I wish, TP-Link doesn't care at all about what their customers want. This feature has been requested many times but zero action is being taken. They just don't care. I've given up hope and honestly I'm not rooting for Omada anymore as I used to. Support is terrible, documentation is either incomplete, very outdated or missing and feature requests aren't even listened to. If I have equipment that needs replacement I'll replace the lot for Unifi or any similar product, I'd rather start my network setup from scratch than investing in equipment of a company that doesn't care about their customers.

I just wanted to tell that I am also waiting for this feature. I went from Deco to Omada to have more control. I paid quite a bit for that as well. Now that I am going to another ISP (KPN), I find it outrageous that IPTV is not possible through Omada. Hope this may change soon, I did pay for that too.

I have the feeling that TP-Link let this feed dying slowly, I'm so sad !
Could be a good idea to give us some news about this topic 
Have you thought to let the summer trainee to develop this option 60, it would be a marvellous back to school gift for TP Link user in september

Hi @MaxxFR
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
Can you provide some 2B brand that supports this feature? I mean Cisco, Meraki, Ruckus, etc.
What's your connection type now? DHCP on WAN interface?
Based on my brief research, I found out that most brands do not support DHCP Option on the WAN interface. Instead, they support DHCP Option on LAN. This function is usually performed by the modem.
I'd like to help you guys here. But I need some data to concrete my words and feedback and I can push the dev team based on the data/info you provided.
Let me know your answers and @ me in your reply.
