No default route after reboot using Gateway Groups.

amorphous

After reboot:
[2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.localdomain]/root: /sbin/route -n get -inet default | /usr/bin/awk '/gateway:/ {print $2}'
route: route has not been found

After enabling disabling WAN
[2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.localdomain]/root: /sbin/route -n get -inet default | /usr/bin/awk '/gateway:/ {print $2}'
70.111.222.0

In Status -> interfaces both WAN and LAN have the correct Ip address and they're both up. No change after reboot.

@amorphous
Do I understand correctly that IP addresses are assigned dynamically (DHCP) ?
Is there no pause during boot time when configuring the WAN interface ?

Open file / diagnostics / edit file
/var / log / system.log
during the boot, it will display approximately the following text:

What does that look like to you ?
I have a suspicion that em0 does not receive an ip address at the boot
in your log line /rc.newwanip: rc.newwanip: on (IP address: ) (interface: WAN[wan]) (real interface: em0) - does not contain IP address ( it is not)
And more
written anything in files
/tmp/em0_error_output
/tmp/em0_output

You can try to do so ( this is theory , I never did )
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-dhcp.html
open the /etc/defaults/rc.conf
and add this line to the beginning of the file
ifconfig_em0="SYNCDHCP"
save the file and reboot

if this does not help , you can try to put the boot script to pause (5 seconds) after starting dhclient. ( this is theory , I never did )

@amorphous said in
route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable

This error
indicates that the system is trying to add a route to a non-existent gateway
Need to think

Konstanti

@amorphous said in No default route after reboot using Gateway Groups.:

Default gateway setting as default

I have a suspicion that here a problem that at the time of loading not all interfaces received ip addresses yet.
Can you show the group settings ?

amorphous

@konstanti From where exactly?

Konstanti

@amorphous

I'm not sure
It is very difficult to understand someone else's code
Can you show the group settings ?

amorphous

@konstanti Which Group Settings? Where in the WebUI?

Konstanti

This post is deleted!

Konstanti

@amorphous
The problem is solved
The problem is that when a script processes a group of interfaces, the system does not yet have default gateway information. To do this, check the status of the variable in the script
"currentdefaultgwip" (file /etc/inc/gwlb.inc)
I added one line for debugging
log_error("Point1 ip is: $currentdefaultgwip");
and replaced one line to check the variable ( this line is the same as above - post Rico )
if (($gwgroupitem['gwip'] == $currentdefaultgwip) && (!empty($currentdefaultgwip))) {

this is what this part of the code looks like

There is another way to solve this problem ,but it is not quite correct
When you restart, all temporary files are deleted, if you disable the delete option, then you also do not have problems when you reboot .

amorphous

@konstanti I'll give it a try and report back.

Konstanti

@amorphous said in No default route after reboot using Gateway Groups.:

if there are problems , write in PM
and send me a log in the mail
be sure to put the control points
they make it easier to localize the problem

Konstanti

@amorphous
and most importantly , before you make changes to the file, make a copy of it . Otherwise , in case of an error, the system will not boot and will have to fix the error for a long time

if you make wan_dhcp2-tier1 and wan_dhcp-tier2

@amorphous
Hey
Having carefully studied this log, the only explanation of what is happening is that the boot process is happening with a slow read/write device (usb key) . Thus, the script to get the ip address does not have time to create the em0_router file in the /tmp directory. Because of this, there are problems with the initialization of the routing table .

At the moment, I propose such a solution

Prevent deleting temporary files on reboot .

Another option is to make additional changes to gwlb.inc (but this need to test and inspect )

Rico

Are we still talking about the topic here which is No default route after reboot using Gateway Groups?

-Rico

Konstanti

@rico

I'm sorry this is being discussed here.
Just in the case of amorphous necessary
1 make changes to the gwlb file.inc ( solved)
2 solve the problem of slow usb key

amorphous
