SRX110 12.3X48 (inter alia) dhcp-client client-id is snafu

When client-id is added to an interfaces family inet / dhcp-client

JunOS sends an invalid option 61 in the Discover packet ... ( fred on the end is just my test name)

  Client-ID Option 61, length 16: hardware-type 58, 66:65:2d:30:2f:30:2f:30:2e:30:3a:66:72:65:64

This is invalid ... h/w 58 is unknown ... it should be ether = 01 then MAC

If  client-id is omitted in the config, no option 61 is sent ... also contrary to the docs.

 

This would not be an issue but for Telstra and the new bright and shiny NBN uses DHCP for static/fixed addresses,

where (I'm guessing) the lack of an option 61 causes the fallback dynamic address to be offered.

 

I'm posting here as JTAC insist on a current contract to report anything.

This will be a show stopper for the hundreds(?) of SRX out there on ADSL when the changeover hits.

Not a good look !
