Bridge interface broken with upgrade

QOTOM Q355G4
4 x Intel I211-AT 10/100/1000 GbE Controller
Intel Core i5-5200U Processor

WAN (wan) -> igb0 -> v4: 24.89.64.78/24
LAN (lan) -> bridge0 -> v4: 192.168.177.1/24
P4 (opt1) -> igb2 ->
P3 (opt2) -> igb3 ->
P2 (opt3) -> igb1 ->
WLAN (opt4) -> ath0_wlan0 ->

Had been functioning as expected prior to upgrade to currrent snapshot from FreeBSD 12.3-STABLE snapshot. (all CE 2.7.0).

There is no ip connectivity on the lan interfaces and no associated evidence of dhcp. Wan works as expected so not likely a driver issue.

Possible bug or regression?

Help appreciated.

Run ifconfig at the command line and check the bridge is being created correctly.

@stephenw10 Following is the ifconfig output (this has been transcribed and carefully confirmed).

bridge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

What is missing is the line as follows (taken from a functioning installation):

inet 192.168.177.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.177.255

@stephenw10 I tried to set the lan / bridge0 ip address via the console option 2) and the following error was thrown (again transcribed):

Ah, nice catch!

You didn't see any similar php errors generated trying to set it via the GUI?

stephenw10

What snapshot are you running exactly? I'm failing to replicate that in the current snap.

Edit: Rather I can replicate the console menu bug but not the main issue. Assigning it in the gui comes up as expected.

tedquade

@stephenw10 I have no lan access so no gui (see my original post).

Hmm, the bridge comes up with an ip address at boot for me. As I expect it to.

I assume you have rebooted since the upgrade and it's still failing?

Any errors shown in the boot log when it tries to bring up LAN?

Steve

@stephenw10 Has been rebooted and no errors during boot that I can catch. I only have the vga console access to the appliance. I have no lan access which makes for more difficult troubleshooting.

I have since trashed the installation and will take another run at it next week (it's Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend).
