I have been checking daily but we are almost at the 2 month point since the last firmware update was released for the Route10. My business project has been on hold awaiting the DHCP options feature to support my VOIP system so that i can start onboarding locations. I hope this next update we are eagerly awaiting is packed with many new features
Perhaps we will get a Friday present today! I am really hoping for more DHCP options and configurability as well.
Good luck with that my friend, I’ve been waiting for a rack mount and now I hearing of delays. Don’t hold your breath. AltaLabs is no longer being considered for my enterprise projects.
You are really annoying, just a FYI. Not sure what you add still posting on here. All you do is troll the company and their customers.
If you want, you can create dhcp options via the cli. If this if of interest to you, I am currently doing it and it works well.
Yes, please! I have not explored much of the cli on these devices so if you have anything that shows how your doing it, I would find it most helpful.
So if you shift+click on your route10 name, it’ll open up a command line. what you want to do is create a file in /cfg/post-cfg.sh (use nano or vi or whatever editor you prefer) and here is what I put in the file for our use case. This will disable sip alg and then also add dhcp option 66:
#Remove SIP lines from modules.d
sed -i -e '/^nf_conntrack_sip$/d' -e '/^nf_nat_sip$/d' /etc/modules.d/nf-nathelper-extra
#Unload modules if they were already loaded
rmmod nf_nat_sip 2>/dev/null
rmmod nf_conntrack_sip 2>/dev/null
uci set firewall.@defaults[0].auto_helper='0'
uci set firewall.@defaults[0].helper='amanda ftp RAS Q.931 irc pptp snmp tftp'
#add dhcp option, note I'm using lan_2, you will have to use whatever lan you want option 66 on
uci add_list dhcp.lan_2.dhcp_option='66,<insert url for option 66 here>'
uci commit
/etc/init.d/firewall reload
After you build that file you will want to
Make the script executable:
chmod +x /cfg/post-cfg.sh
Run the script:
/cfg/post-cfg.sh
That will allow those settings to persist through reboots. Let me know if you need any additional help!
Until they release the rack mount, you could 3D print something. That is if its your only requirement needed for your projects. Also, if you don’t have a 3d printer, I’m sure there are plenty of people on here who would 3d print you one if you would be willing to pay shipping to get it to you (including us).
Thanks for the suggestion. However, I have scrapped all plans to deploy AltaLabs as a solution for my customers, and I will no longer waste any more time with them as I feel they do not meet my needs or expectations.

Luke,
Give it a break. We get it, you’re frustrated. Most of us are about one thing or another. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “Rome wasn’t built in a day”.
There have been days where I’ve wanted to pack everything up and sell it, reverting back to my previous configuration. But I haven’t.
Time is all we can give them.
The 1U bracket is something I had been eyeing for a while. I decided not to wait and picked up a 1U shelf. Problem solved. 1U is 1U whether it’s a shelf or supporting bracket.
Well said tbh.
AltaLabs is not a product for everyone, don’t like it then well return it and go with something you are comfortable with.
