Rule error related to DHCP VLAN prio

louis2

I checked to be sure, but no the interface / vlan is enabled. See picture. I disabled the DHCP VLAN Priority setting, after the error occurred. To get rid of the issue.

Interesting, and it let you enable the DHCP server on that?

DHCP Server requires a static address on an interface. The GUI won't let me change away from static IP address with the DHCP server enabled on an interface.

I'm not sure how you landed in that invalid configuration then. You shouldn't be able to have the DHCP server on there.

@jimp

If I select Services / DHCP Server, the WAN_IPTV interface is not there. Also not when selecting DHCPv6 server.

For information, my provider does offer IP-TV as an option, however I have cable TV. So I do not use it.

When setting up the VLAN's I did however define the config in favor of IPTV in line with configs found on the internet.

As said, I am not using it at all, so it does not harm me. I was just surprised to see alarms with this build, I never saw before.

jimp

Oh, I was misreading the rule, it's for the client out, not server in.

Though even in that case I don't see how it would end up with a syntax error there.

Eating is the proof of the pudding .... something there ...

I copied what I defined below below. But I do not recognize the (automatic) rule the error is referring to

normal rules

outbound nat

jimp

The rule it's complaining about is internal and automatic -- it's to allow the DHCP client traffic to egress the interface so it can request an address. It should work even when the interface doesn't have an address yet.

This issue should be resolved with https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13754#note-9 - you can apply that patch with the System Patches package. Feel free to confirm / leave feedback there if it fixes the issue for you.

@marcosm
I installed the system patches package, which does provide an extra menu item.
Then I did update to the latest today 2.7 build

I did not apply a patch, since there are no available patches in the patch menu.
So no idea how to apply the patch

When accessing the IPTV_WAN interface, changing nothing and saving it again, the error is there.

@louis2 Use the commit ID c0d7519df5dc1632ba9f2791ab377bdc19f45105. See here https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/development/system-patches.html#adding-a-patch

I think the patch is causing problems

@louis2 Apologies - we saw that and a fix is coming soon.

jimp

Latest snapshot should have a good fix in it (for that error and others), so if you can, give that a try.

louis2

@jimp

The good news is, that I did not see that specific failure in the past hours.

The bad news is that switching on and of the interface now does crash the system.

See attached crash dumps

That wouldn't be related to the rules, but it's some other issue entirely. I don't recall ever seeing a backtrace similar to that one.

Actually that backtrace does appear to be the same as the one we see occasionally for IGMP Proxy: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12079

I added your textdump there, but that won't be one we get to for the 23.01 release.
