Bridge interface broken with upgrade

[tedquade]

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).

Ted Quade

[stephenw10]

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).
