Problems after enabling if_pppoe
-
@stephenw10 Thanks. 'Do not wait for a RA' is NOT checked in the DHCP6 client configuration.
-
Hmm, interesting. Do you see the connection logs repeating? Like it's continually re-connecting?

No, the connection seems to establish and stay up.
-
Hmm, but the logs are still filling continually?

@stephenw10
Sorry, but I'd like to correct you that "Do not wait for RA" should be checked to bypass this issue. -
It depends which issue. If your ISP sends a lot of RAs you probably want it checked. If not then leaving it unchecked can avoid a race condition.
Both should be fixed in the next build.

No. The logs fill with those messages on rebooting after enabling if_pppoe and also on each subsequent reboot.
This stops once I restart unbound via the cli and then use menu options 11/16 in order to be able to access the webgui. Once that is done the continuous log messages stop.

@stephenw10 Same problem here with the new 25.03-BETA (amd64) built on Wed May 7 17:11:00 BST 2025

@bigsy Does applying this patch help?

Thanks. Afraid it didn't help - I applied the patch, rebooted and the same behaviour was exhibited.

I'm still experiencing the same problems as originally described on the latest 25.03-BETA (amd64)
built on Thu May 15 15:15:00 BST 2025 whenever if_pppoe is enabled and the system rebooted.
No problems when if_pppoe is not used. -
Hmm, do you have a more complete log of what you're seeing?
If you set 'Do not wait for RA' does the behaviour change?
-
@stephenw10 i can provide logs if you want to look at them. I previously tried the ‘do not wait for RA’ option and there was no PPPoE connection.

@marcosm @stephenw10 Apologies for the delay in acknowledging, I've been away for a while but thanks for giving this your attention. Fixed for me as of 25.03-beta 10th June. Cheers!
