Did you just switch to Kea for dhcp6?

Does that output ever change?

I have been using Kea for a few months.

And the output of ctl+t doesn't change? It continues to wait for Kea?

yes. It continues to wait for Kea, Many hours have passed..

stephenw10

Hmm, that's odd. The dhcp6 process appears to have started correctly in the logs.

What version did you upgrade from?

@stephenw10
I'm not sure which version I started with since this problem has been around for a long time. DHCP has been started

Oh you were seeing the same issue in earlier versions?

How did you upgrade then if bootup never completes. You installed 2.7.2 clean and restore a config?

yes. In fact, DHCP is working, but the pfsense startup interface is not completed.

stephenw10

Ah, Ok. Are you able to connect to the firewall at all then? SSH working?

Anything shown in the system log?

I just tried to delete all the "DHCPv6 Static Mappings" setting and restarted the pfsense system just now. The startup interface was completed.

The LAN ipv4 I mentioned before cannot be routed through the ISP WAN. I haven't found a solution to this problem yet. I have set up static routing to let a lot of ipv4 be routed through the ISP WAN. But it doesn't seem to work.

stephenw10

What do you have in the v6 static mappings? It seems like something Kea doesn't like.

If you switch back to ISC DHCPd does it allow those mappings again?

ipv6 normal, ipv4 route not normal work.

back to ISC DHCP, it ipv4 DHCP not work. Lan pc can't get dhcp ip.

stephenw10

Hmm, but it was working before you switched to Kea?

The service is running?

yes, kea is runing. but i setup Static routing like 117.32.0.0/13 to WAN, other ips via VPN. the LAN's can't route to 117.32.0.0/13 now.

back to ISC DHCP, it ipv4 DHCP not work. Lan pc can't get dhcp ip.

@yon-0 said in pfsense 2.7.2 Never completes startup process:

yes, kea is runing.

So.... not back to ISC?

Static routes would be completely unrelated to DHCP though anyway.

yes, now it can't back to ISC. I see that the ISC DHCP page has changed and is different from before.

Yes, but this is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. I have tried various methods but cannot solve it.

stephenw10

OK I'm confused as to what the actual problem is at this point.

You cannot switch dhcp back to ISC for some reason?

The most important thing at present is to solve the ipv4 routing problem.
