Re: moving ISP need to know WAN details
Apologies, I'm not familiar with Opensense personally, but had a quick look at the link you referred to originally, and it does appear that the web interfaces requires the whole thing with the option name and quote marks.
i.e.,
dhcp-client-identifier "abc12345@skydsl|abc12345"
If you had already tried that and still have issues, I have seen in the past where the ascii code used for quote marks on online forums can be different. So if you've copy/pasted it verbatim, be careful you haven't copy/pasted “ instead of ". Try manually typing it out instead.

Re: moving ISP need to know WAN details
Does the Openreach VDSL2 modem have the correct lights for connectivity and traffic flow when plugged in and operational?

Re: moving ISP need to know WAN details
To diagnose the issue, you can test the functionality of the Openreach VDSL2 modem by connecting the WAN port to the Sky router’s LAN4 port. This will allow you to verify the modem’s correct operation and pinpoint the specific problem.

Re: moving ISP need to know WAN details
i have this modem
https://www.desertcart.ph/products/57675745-bt-openreach-fibre-modem
the power/dsl/lan1 are all on, the lan1 is blinking really fast due to activity so traffic is flowing through as the modems lan1 port connects to my wan port on my opnsense firewall and i have internet atm as i can watch my sky puck and my main pc im talking to you is hard wired to my switch which connects to opnsense firewall
thats a good test, connect my sky router to the modem to see if it works, i will let you know when i have done it

Re: moving ISP need to know WAN details
The quotation marks in the output file for the DHCP Option 61 client identifier are incorrectly formatted when using the OPNsense web interface when saved to a file. These quotation marks need to be manually edited in the file for the OPNsense firewall client identifier with vi on the SSH interface which you can edit the appropriate file 'config.xml' using the vi unix editor on the shell command interface of OPNsense. Or alternatively save the 'config.xml' file to a computer and carefully hand edit and restore into the OPNsense firewall which would likely be safer.

Re: moving ISP need to know WAN details
It is the main config.xml file, so you should be able to back up the configuration to a PC from the OPNsense web interface and restore it to OPNsense once you have edited it.

This is the thread I got that information from, but it looks good on your setup and is worth checking out.
