WAN DHCP IPV4 address gone - can't allocate llinfo
-
The error that came when using Status:Interfaces to release and renew a DHCP address has been fixed -
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,52046.0.html
Now, the reason that I ended up using this release/renew button was that I had lost the IPV4 address from my WAN interface. It happened to me again today on:
2.1-BETA0 (i386)
built on Sun Aug 5 18:24:43 EDT 2012
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p3I had just installed OpenVPN Client Export Utility on my test system. The test system is an Alix with WAN set to DHCP on an internal subnet. The DHCP server is a pfSense Alix router on the internal subnet running the same 2.1-BETA0 release, and that is the gateway to the real internet. I am not trying to do any IPV6 stuff on either box, the default IPV6 functions that come in 2.1 just happen by themselves, so there are fe80 addresses.
It seems that something gets mixed up during all the check_reload_status stuff.
Here is my WAN vr1 when it has the problem (there is no IPV4 setting):vr1: flags=8843 <up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8280b <rxcsum,txcsum,vlan_mtu,wol_ucast,wol_magic,linkstate>ether 00:0d:b9:24:58:b5 inet6 fe80::20d:b9ff:fe24:58b5%vr1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 nd6 options=3 <performnud,accept_rtadv>media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active</full-duplex></performnud,accept_rtadv></rxcsum,txcsum,vlan_mtu,wol_ucast,wol_magic,linkstate></up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>Here it is after clicking release then renew (IPV4 settings are back):

I don't know if the client6_init and cfparse errors (stuff related to IPV6) cause problems either?
This llinfo message gets a mention in these 2.1 posts and some other 2.0.n posts:

I upgraded to:
2.1-BETA0 (i386)
built on Tue Aug 7 18:18:58 EDT 2012
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p4I have a production pfSense nanobsd on my real internet connection. Then on the internal LAN is my test nanobsd system's WAN port, which uses DHCP to get an internal LAN address and learn the gateway etc out to the real internet. Both systems are on the above snapshot.
I saw that Jim had committed https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense-tools/commit/a5367b9f28b4c92f37fc99bf60a0b51c74c7a097 with some makefile change for dhcp server. So I thought that maybe this might change the behaviour between DHCP server and client.
But my test system WAN IPV4 address went AWOL again today. Had to use Status:Interfaces release/renew button to get it back. I can also get it back by physically disconnecting and reconnecting the WAN cable (I guess that triggers lots of software stuff, including trying to DHCP again).
The DHCP server log on the production system has nothing odd - it simply gives out/renews the address each hour as the requests come in.
The test system DHCP client seems to be the thing that runs into trouble. Here is a chunk of system.log:

Even if this is initiated by some transient issue on the switch connected to WAN, the software should be able to recover without user intervention. At the moment, the LAN side of the test system goes offline to the rest of the world. In a real remote access support situation that would be really annoying - no way to remotely get into the router to press release/renew. So it would be good to find the problem here, as it might save "random" problems in future for some production cases.
I can't see a dhclient log file. Is there some way to see more about what is happening to dhclient?
Is there other useful data I can dump from the system after this happens?

Has this issue fixed itself for you? I'm experiencing the same issue now that I moved to 2.1 dev. Going to update my snapshot as it's a week or so old.

I still get it on my test box every now and then (maybe about every 2 or 3 days). The WAN of the test box sits on my LAN and gets DHCP from the production pfSense that is talking to the real internet. All my production systems on the real internet have static IPs, so I can't say if there is any intermittent issue when getting DHCP from an ISP in some way.
I am in an area with mains power that goes on and off all the time (10 times a day), we have UPS with big battery banks, but I think that sometimes the transitions back and forth from mains <-> inverter cause glitches for some of our switches. So the test box WAN physical switch might "disappear" for a moment and come back. I'll try and induce it by power cycling its local switch.
