So ... still no Option 66 and 67 on ER605?

2024-10-06 13:26:09 - last edited 2 weeks ago

Tags: #DHCP Service

Model: ER605 (TL-R605)

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 2.2.4 Build 20240119 Rel.44368

Edit: Standalone (not connected to Omada Controller. Another can of worms - a lot of features are lost on association)

All threads on the matter are locked:

https://community.tp-link.com/en/business/forum/topic/641862

What is the status on DHCP Options 66 and 67 and next-server?
The most relevant information was "Release Q3 2024"

I spent hours trying to get what seemed like a basic feature working but was met with forums stating it wasn't possble on a business-grade router.

@Order66 I'm in need of this as well.
It didn't take long to find 3-year-old threads about the missing options.

Unfortunately, it seems like they didn't fix this all this time.

How does it come that such a big company isn't able to roll out a crucial business function to their business line-up in years?

Please TP-Link, make this happen...

It is kinda ignorant to mess up the DHCP option number to its name.

Have you looked at the DHCP option where you have DHCP TFTP and DHCP Network Boot?

This for the Linux Imaging Server?

I can confirm it works with Windows SCCM/MDT.

@KimcheeGUN I guess so.
Not familiar with the term but going for NIC boot/PXE boot to a linux host and linux based OS ISO

@Clive_A
Solution you say?

Also accusing customers of ignorance isn't a very nice move but anyways.

I'm not running in standalone mode, like everyone else using more than 3 devices probably is.

Yes, forgot to mention but it won't change my outcome.

It isn't possible - or am I wrong?

Option 66 is there but can't be used for PXE since with missing option 67 I can't send the boot file name.

Now tell me how ignorant I am...

What model and firmware do you use? Have you made sure they are on the latest firmware?

I am seeing them on ER707-M2 and ER8411 standalone and controller mode with V5.14. Same for ER605 V2 2.2.6. All latest firmware.

And you are offered the custom DHCP option if you say there are none 66 and 67.

What you might miss is the Next Server. Have you confirmed it or confirmed what's missing to make it work?

Even if we need to optimize the firmware, a line of "make it happen" does not make sense without knowing what firmware and model you have.

As the senior member Kim replied, he got it working fine but not you. You have examined the steps before popping up a question, is that true?
