Basic Infos

  • This issue complies with the issue POLICY doc.
  • I have read the documentation at readthedocs and the issue is not addressed there.
  • I have tested that the issue is present in current master branch (aka latest git).
  • I have searched the issue tracker for a similar issue.
  • If there is a stack dump, I have decoded it.
  • I have filled out all fields below.

Platform

  • Hardware: [ESP-01|Wemos D1 mini R2]
  • Core Version: [09c4e33]
  • Development Env: [Arduino IDE]
  • Operating System: [Windows|MacOS]

Settings in IDE

  • Module: [Generic ESP8266 Module|Wemos D1 mini r2]
  • Flash Mode: [DOUT]
  • Flash Size: [1MB|4MB]
  • lwip Variant: [v2 Lower Memory|v2 Higher Bandwidth]
  • Reset Method: [dtr]

Problem Description

The ESP8266 is not sending the Client Identifier when it request a DHCP server.

Some routers-gateway-dhcp require this option to register the ESP's hostname into their DNS.
On devices with several network interfaces it prevents the DHCP to assign an new address per interface.

Can we amend the Client Identifier (option 61) to the DHCP query?

As you can see, the default Client Identifier is:
OPTION: 61 ( 7) Client-identifier 01:{{macAddress}}

And the field should be optional:
