Thanks for the fast reply!


After adding the following to my config:

authprotocol token
authtoken 1 fritz forever 1234567890

I get:

dhcpcd[4774]: enp2s0: DHCP messge too big
dhcpcd[4774]: enp2s0: authentication now required
dhcpcd[4774]: enp2s0: soliciting a DHCPv6 lease
dhcpcd[4774]: enp2s0: dhcp6_updateauth: No such process
dhcpcd[4774]: enp2s0: DHCP messge too big
dhcpcd[4774]: enp2s0: DHCP lease expired
dhcpcd[4774]: enp2s0: soliciting a DHCP lease
dhcpcd[4774]: enp2s0: DHCP messge too big
dhcpcd[4774]: enp2s0: DHCP messge too big
dhcpcd[4774]: enp2s0: DHCP messge too big
dhcpcd[4774]: timed out
dhcpcd[4774]: exited


With authprotocol delayed i get a bunch of:

dhcpcd[5315]: enp2s0: no authentication from 192.168.178.1
dhcpcd[5315]: enp2s0: no authentication from fe80::a96:d7ff:fe07:e6a
...
dhcpcd[5315]: timed out
dhcpcd[5315]: exited


There aren't a lot of examples about these options around the net(I
haven't found a single one), and i'm not sure if i simply used them
wrong, or the FritzBox.

The FritzBox is a proprietary closed source router, i can't configure
the DHCP server on it more than ticking a checkbox which enables or
disables IA_PD, so it's very possible it simply doesn't support
authentication.
Is there a way to just force dhcpcd to ignore the need for
authentication, like for example with the "noauthrequired" option?


Thanks,
