pfSense WAN dhcp client exiting (error)
-
Hmm, looks similar to some issues that existed previously, like this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9484
Try changing the DHCP timeout option to something large enough to allow the modem to boot. Like 900 as suggested there.
Though I agree it should just continue to try. I'm pretty there was a bug for that....

Ah, yes, this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9267
Though that should be fixed. Check the dhcp logs for the client using the old lease incorrectly.

@stephenw10
I'll prob switch to fixed ip, as this is the summerhouse.
Any "timing issue" not caught, while there and testing. Will make my temperature monitoring unavailable. And during winter these measurements are essential , as we have "water in the pipes".Thanx anyway.

@bingo600 said in pfSense WAN dhcp client exiting (error):
But i still think that the DHCP Client task should "loop" in trying to get an address. Even if the IF isn't up.
Think again ;)
When a process is launched on a given interface, like dhclient, it needs that one (1) - WAN interface, unlike unbound or the nginx web service for the GUI, which are bound to all interfaces. If that interface disappears, because it goes down, because the upstream router/modem pull the connection down, it will get removed from the 'ifconfig' kernel interfaces list - it will not stay active or in a running state.
dhclient exits.I thought I found out why it is comes back - when an interface comes on line again :
The LINKUP event :
See /etc/rc.booutup : line 96-99 : and see devd.conf lines 56-60 :
I 'read' here :# # Try to start dhclient on Ethernet-like interfaces when the link comes # up. Only devices that are configured to support DHCP will actually # run it.for me : when an interface comes up- and it's an interface that should support dhclient, it is executed.
Note that the $subsystem variable isn't defined / used ?!?
So, is this used :notify 0 { match "system" "IFNET"; match "type" "LINK_UP"; media-type "ethernet"; action "service dhclient quietstart $subsystem"; };I really think that these tehse 6 lines should auto start the dhclient on that ($subsystem = set to what ? ) interface.
Real Plug and Play in action.Just my 2 cents btw.
Go for the static IP. That's proven technology.

@gertjan
I do agree that it's impossible (not feasible) to start a dhcpclient process on an IF that's down. But one could loop in a "sleep 5 min" retrying to see if the IF becomes available.Apparently something happens if/when my special condition is met.
That doesn't retrigger the dhcpclient startup , and leaves the now active wan IF , in a IP address limbo ....But as you mention , i'll switch to static/fixed ip next time i'm there.

Exactly the same problem.
Pfense Version 2.7.2 release (AMD64)
In the Log hot plug event Loop up to infinity.
WAN Interface loop up and down forever.
Everything changed, Cable, Nic etc.
The only solution to change, reboot of the Pfense or to fixed IP, which I have now done :-(
Incomprehensible...
-
A link change loop is not what the symptoms of this issue are.
What is causing it to lose link? What do your logs actually show?
Does this also happen after a power outage? So every device boots at the same time?
-
@stephenw10 said in pfSense WAN dhcp client exiting (error):
causing it to lose link
Very good question if I only knew that ...
-the connection to the ISP is interrupted
-definitv power outage
-the network cable is deducted
-?The logs show about the same as above
No, the devices all boot at different times.
Unfortunately, I don't know when it all started because the Pfense runs stable with me.
I can therefore only assume that it started with a modem exchange from the ISP a few months ago.
But there is a router between the ISP modem and the Pfense and does not cause any problems, it is for despair because I have unfortunately not found sufficient information in the logs.
Only the booting of the Pfense worked.
-
Do you have any example logs showing a couple of loops?
-
I'm sorry for the logs in the Pfense are only limited to 500 lines, this will not help you because it is a log from the router:

Hmm. Are you running Snort or Suricata in in-line mode? I'd expect to see some netgraph logs there but that's the only package I'm aware of that can affect the link state.
-
Snort -no
Suricata -yes
-
And specifically in in-line mode?
Do you have a more extensive log? Need to see at least two complete loop cycles to see whats happening there.
-
[101342 - Suricata-Main] 2024-03-28 17:47:05 Notice: suricata: This is Suricata version 7.0.4 RELEASE running in SYSTEM mode
Okay, I try to activate the DHCP client again at the weekend to get the desired protocol.
-
Suricata in in-line mode (as opposed to legacy mode) uses a netgraph interface to intercept the packets before it hits the interface. When that is created at start up the interface it moved from the NIC to the ng device and you can see a link state change. That might be what you're seeing. It shouldn't create a loop though.

Suricata in non blocking mode

Sorry, second Part was flagged as Spam ;-(

In the between I uninstalled Suricata, but I also did nothing.

is this what I think it is :
@Nosense-0 said in pfSense WAN dhcp client exiting (error):
servicewatchdog_cron
?
Probably not related, but if you're using "Service_Watchdog" : remove it.
This package is useful if you do debugging and other bleeding edge situations.
For the other 99,99999 % pfSense users, like you and me, it inflict stress, and incomprehension, and a bad connection.When I see a line like this
@Nosense-0 said in pfSense WAN dhcp client exiting (error):
Mar 29 11:02:07 php-cgi[2020]: servicewatchdog_cron.php: dpinger: timeout while retrieving status for gateway WAN_DHCP
and all the other lines, like :
Interfaces come up.
VLANs are created
WAN IP is set up.
Routes are applied.
Tests are executes to see if you have "IPV6".
DynDNS checks are executed,
Etc. All the usual stuff.
But also , you have some really heavy weights on your system :
pfBlockerNG DNSBL,
vnstat,
suriacata,
bandwith,
...What happens is : the system needs more time to "settle in".
But "servicewatchdog" said it "enough" : it detects that there is no WAN gateway, and it pulls the plug on the WAN, and the whole restart story is starts again ....My advise : lower the load on the system == the number of events that can happen when "WAN" is created.
Start with a clean and lean pfSense, ditch all the gadgets.
Now, you're fine.
Then add a 'thing', one by one.
As soon as the system shows issues, go one step back, and you'll be good.
