      I I thought the relayd was the dhcp relay.
      I'm working on the dhcp relay / forwarder.

      For loadbalancing I'm using ha proxy on other pfsense.

        I can confirm your findings. The DHCP-Relay setup was/is broken on update.

        I used

        /usr/local/sbin/dhcrelay -id vmx1 -iu vmx0 -a -m replace IP_dhcp-server1 IP_dhcpsever2

        as a quick fix. (one WAN (vmx0), one LAN-Interface (vmx1))

        I was very delighted to see that within 2.4.5_p1 the DHCP-Handling was much better. I did not have time to look deeply into this problem, so this is a quick fix.

          Could you provide vmx0 and vmx1 IP addresses and IP_dhcp-server1, IP_dhcpsever2 to check ?

            Short:
            vmx0 is a private IP
            vmx1 is a public IP
            Both dhcp Servers are upstream (behind vmx0)

            Later today i will do a clean update install (2.4.4_p3 -> 2.5.0) and can check that again. I will come back to this.

              @fwcheck we need to know IP addresses to test
              you can change the network part of address if you don't want to show it

                To diagnose this we are going to need better info. You can redact some things but we need to know:

                • The interfaces involved, and their subnets
                • All of the DHCP relay settings used

                If you redact anything replace them with appropriate dummy addresses but keep at least enough to uniquely identify them (e.g. 10.0.0.1/24 -> x.x.x.1/24, 10.4.1.2/24->y.y.y.2/24).

                Bonus points for getting the process output from 2.4.x and 2.5.x to compare what it's trying to run in each case.

                  I am not quite sure but i think within 2.4.5_p1 the dhcp was supplying adresses to openvpn-clients via a bridge. I will look into the old configuration ans supply info on monday afternoon.
                  Redundant carp setup
                  looks basically like this:
                  vmx0 192.168.0.3/29
                  vmx1 1.1.1.1/24 (a public subnet)
                  dhcp-server 10.2.1.14
                  dhcp-server 10.2.1.13

                    lets try here to give you a quick headsup since it is alread 9pm in germany.

                    Building setup:

                    Building a  ---- LWL dark fiber ---- Head office
                    

                    Some quick drawing from draw.io

                    The Carp and pfSense cluster didn't play a role here. I disabled carp in testing.

                    What I have seen on fwint3 that the dhcp request arrive as usal on the clients interface. But nothing is send out to the dhcp server.

                    There are more vlans that have ther own interface assigned in pfSense and other components, but they can be left out.

                    The cluster fwint3 and fwint4 have been updated without any problems from 2.4.5p1 to 2.5.0. Routing traffic everything works but not the dhcp forwarding.

                    I think I do not have logs of 2.4.5p1. And on 2.5.0 the dhcp forward did not start. There is nothing in the dhcp log nor is there something in the syslog. If I disable dhcp forwarding and start dhcp server on the fwint3 I see dhcp logs and leases go out and work like they did when they where forwarded.

                    Hope that helps. I you need something let me know.

                      Hi forgot. All Interface are intel x520 nic. So Interfaces will be ix0 and ix1 on each firewall. On top that is the vlan so ix0.8 and so on. NO Bridge.

                        Also occurring on VMware ESXi 6.7 hosted environment with VMXNET3 cards. Single DHCP server target, with relays from six different networks (some VLAN, some 'direct' connect). Appears that all do not pass the DHCP packets to the server (none received in the external server logs), but packets are seen by packet capture on the interfaces concerned on pfSense.
                        Happy to build a test 2.5.0 environment to provide further info and logs if necessary.

                            I have deactivated dhcp server and enabled dhcp forwarding again with the values as there where and saved it:

                            e1ee86e0-40a0-47f9-8f5f-a75b50b6a61f-grafik.png

                            but unter /conf/config.xml I cat NOT find anything about dhcp forwarding. Even the gui said it was saved. (Did I look on the wrong place?)

                            This is out of the 2.4.4p1 config

                                  Our dhcp relay service failure on 2.5.0 update seems to be hardware specific.

                                  Netgate XG-1537 = success 2 out 2 (version 21.02)
                                  VMware 6.5 = success 4 out of 4
                                  Supermicro 1U server (not sure of flavor, rear facing ports) 1 out of 1
                                  Supermicro CSE-505-203B = fail 2 out of 2
                                  Supermicro SYS-5018D-FN8T = fail 4 out of 4

                                  Have not tried bare metal reload on failures yet.

                                    I think i found the root cause.

                                    DHCP-Server is Upstream (behind) WAN.
                                    DHCP-Relay for example only on LAN.

                                    At least i found a hint in Syslog:

                                    Feb 22 16:01:17 check_reload_status 363 Syncing firewall
                                    Feb 22 16:01:18 php-fpm 326 /services_dhcp_relay.php: No suitable upstream interfaces found for running dhcrelay!

                                    I guess i know where the problem resides.
                                    041fcf1f-4ba5-43a8-a45f-4f4fe8d87c1b-grafik.png

                                    Our default configuration sets the dhcp-relay only for the interfaces, not for wan. Our DHCP-Servers resides are mostly upstream on the WAN side. We have some firewalls where that is different.

                                    /etc/inc/services.inc

                                        $srvifaces = array();
                                        foreach ($srvips as $srcidx => $srvip) {
                                                $destif = guess_interface_from_ip($srvip);
                                                if (!empty($destif) && !is_pseudo_interface($destif)) {
                                                        $srvifaces[] = $destif;
                                                }
                                        }
                                    
                                        /* Check for relays in the same subnet as clients so they can bind for

                                        $srvrelayifs = array_intersect($dhcrelayifs, $srvifaces);
                                    
                                        /* The server interface(s) should not be in this list */
                                        $dhcrelayifs = array_diff($dhcrelayifs, $srvifaces);
                                    
                                        /* Remove the dual-role interfaces from up and down lists */
                                        $srvifaces = array_diff($srvifaces, $srvrelayifs);
                                        $dhcrelayifs = array_diff($dhcrelayifs, $srvrelayifs);
                                    
                                        /* fire up dhcrelay */
                                        if (empty($dhcrelayifs) && empty($srvrelayifs)) {
                                                log_error(gettext("No suitable downstream interfaces found for running dhcrelay!"));
                                                return; /* XXX */
                                        }
                                        if (empty($srvifaces) && empty($srvrelayifs)) {
                                        # Error is here 
                                                log_error(gettext("No suitable upstream interfaces found for running dhcrelay!"));
                                                return; /* XXX */
                                        }
                                    

                                    My dhcp-Server resides outside of any net within the firewall, therefore $servifaces
                                    is empty, resulting in the error in syslog.

                                    My fix is to explicit add the upstream if there is none. I am not quite sure if this is the best variant. I would think that fixing guess_interface_from_ip() might be a better way.

                                        if (empty($srvifaces)){
                                                $srvifaces[] = "vmx0";
                                        }
                                        if (empty($srvifaces) && empty($srvrelayifs)) {
                                                log_error(gettext("No suitable upstream interfaces found for running dhcrelay!"));
                                                return; /* XXX */
                                        }
                                    

                                    If there is anything else you need to know please let me know.

                                      So perhaps the default upgrade is adding lo0 to the dhcrelay startup process?

                                        Ok i have to add, that this is a solution (WAN is always vmx0) for my case. The physical interface of another system has sure another name,
                                        <interfaces>
                                        <wan>
                                        <enable></enable>
                                        <if>vmx0</if>
                                        Therefore more general it is s.th. like
                                        $config[interfaces][wan][if]
                                        ..

                                          @fwcheck There's definitely something odd going on.
                                          In the test scenario, I have a similar environment, with DHCP server on the dirty (WAN) side, using vmx0. This seems to be working correctly, as I get vmx0 in the $srvifaces list.
                                          But no lo0 in any list. 😕

                                          Now adding more elements to the test environment to find the thing that triggers lo0 to get added to the list.

                                            But no lo0 in any list.

                                            Isn't that a good thing ?
                                            lo0 is the local host or 127.0.0.1
                                            dhcrelay can't operate on "lo0" :

                                            which is rather logic.

                                            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                                            Edit : and where are the logs ??
