      @vex said in gif0 does not come up after reboot:

      The tunneling addresses and netmasks are defined in RFC6333.

      Saw that :

      969f9294-194f-4714-89e7-c151618b2a97-image.png

      I guess I'm learning something new here.

      @vex said in gif0 does not come up after reboot:

      working perfectly after

      Like : I'm thinking out loud :
      The GIF tunnel is started before the pppoe connections comes up.
      So it fails.
      When you re apply the GIF, it works, as your pppoe connection is up now.

      Did you look at the logs - the main system log but also the others, where the pppoe connections creation is logged ? And if there are traces of the GIF being created and fails ?
      And when is what created ? The chronology of the events.
      And where it manages to connect ?

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        Is your LAN set to track WAN for it's IPv6 prefix?

        If so that might explain it. The PPPoE link will not come up immediately.

        Why are you using LAN there and not WAN as the parent interface?

          I wanted and I tried to set WAN as parent because it’s only logical, but that‘s barking at me with an error (creating interface). I can only set a LAN as parent during creation. But yeah, that‘s explaining the issue. Changing the parent after creating the gif is also not possible.

            Mmm, appears to be the rather unhelpful:

            The following input errors were detected:

    Error occurred creating interface, please retry.

            Let me test....

                Ok, that error is shown if the PPPoE interface is not up at the time. It wasn't on my test box. But I can create a GIF tunnel on a PPPoE interface as long as it's connected and has an IP at that time. And it does then re-establish at boot.
                However I tested here with IPv4, it's possible it will refuse to allow a tunnel with a remote IPv6 address even if the PPPoE interface has one. I assume that's the situation you're in?
                It's possible your ISP only provides a prefix and the WAN doesn't get a routable v6 IP.

                Also I'm testing between local machines which mean the PPP connection estblishes almost instantly at boot so it's possible there is a timing issue. I don't think that is the case though because the GIF tunnel doesn't attempt to establish until the PPPoE is up because it's parent interface is down. The way you have it setup LAN appears to be up to it tries and fails.

                What does appear to be a possible bug is that the LAN interface gets a new IP address when the PPPoE comes up and it can track the prefix. But that doesn't trigger the GIF tunnel to restart.
                However there are a number of features missing from dynamic IPv6. This is probably one of them.

                Anyway I would retry to create the GIF on WAN directly. At least that might give us a different error. I can't easily test an IPv6 PPPoE connection here.

                  @stephenw10 Hi Stephen, you're right. The PPPoE interface does not get a routeable address. ifconfig shows:

                    @stephenw10 I managed to create a second gif while the first one was still down. Setting the parent interface to WAN worked this way.

                    2022-10-21 17 38 18.png
                    Unfortunately, the interface still doesn't come up during boot and even more unfortunate is that the IPv4 routing does not work if I use WAN as parent interface. It shows as up, but the tunnel does not work.

                    dmesg shows

                      If you have just rebooted it should be in the main system log when it tries to bring up the tunnel.

                      Does that new tunnel come up if you restart after booting? Despite having no routable IPv6 address on WAN?

                      Do the PPP logs look like it's trying to pass a v6 IP to the WAN as well as a prefix?

                        4IN6 (gif0) tunnel does not come up with the reboot. If I now manually do the "Save"/"Apply changes"-Wizardry, the gif0 comes up and the logs show:

                        What I find slightly interesting, is that the IPv4 tunnel gateway has 100% packet loss in the gateway monitor, although it works flawlessly.

                          @vex said in gif0 does not come up after reboot:

                          Oct 22 20:19:13 php 458 rc.bootup: The command '/sbin/ifconfig 'gif0' description '4IN6'' returned exit code '1', the output was 'ifconfig: interface gif0 does not exist'
                          Oct 22 20:19:13 kernel vtnet0: link state changed to UP

                          That's with the gif tunnel using WAN as the parent? Or LAN still?

                          Is the PPPoE interface first in the list?

                          I note that you appear to have WAN set to dhcpv6 but the PPPoE is passing an IPv6 address via IPV6CP directly.

                          The IPv4 gateway may simply not respond to ping. Try setting a monitoring IP somewhere further upstream like 8.8.8.8.

                            That's with the gif0 using LAN as parent. PPPoE is first in list, yes.

                            2022-10-26 21 19 06.png

                            So instead of using DHCPv6 as configuration type, should I use something else there?

                            Yeah, I switched to monitoring the IPv6 CG-NAT/AFTR address.

                            This is the complete log of booting with gif0 and WAN as parent:

                            Thanks again for having a look into this.

                              Hmm. Even with that don't see it trying to restart the gif tunnel (even if it would fail) after the WAN connects and gets a new IPv6 address and I would expect it to trigger that.
                              It could be because it's link-local only and that is not seen as a valid address. Though it is valid for a transport link and that's common on WAN. Or potentially it comes up at boot and somethings are suppressed during boot to prevent flapping.

                              However what you're seeing is exactly this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8273

                              Which should be fixed by this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6507
                              But that is in 2.6.

                              Does manually running /etc/rc.newwanipv6 lan after boot bring the gif tunnel up? What is logged when you do that?

                                The gif0 tunnel is up after doing this.

                                  Ok, interesting. So after running some tests here it appears that never gets called because it's not actually a WAN. I've asked internally because it's not clear to me what should happen there currently. As far as I can see it only restarts DNS and DHCPv6 on the tracking interface.

                                  Steve

                                    @stephenw10 Just an hypothetical question: Would this bug be fixed if I paid for one of your support contracts and opened a case?

                                    Regards
                                    Alex

                                      No. Support contracts are not paid development so it would make no difference here.

                                      There are large number of moving parts currently and development time is at minimum. I didn't see much of a response previosuly. Let me retry....
