Bug gateways power loss
-
A better workaround is to add a boot delay to pfSense so that the modem has always booted sufficiently to bring the link up before dhclient is run. But, yes, it shouldn't happen and should be fixed.

How would you do that (Boot delay) ???
Is there a pfSense setting ? , or do you mean something like an APU and "Sequenced booting ?"/Bingo

Set:
autoboot_delay="30"in loader.conf.You probably don't need such a large delay there. 10 worked for others seeing this.

I would have no issue setting it to 120sec, if it solves it ...Btw:
loader.conf or that "local" that survives upgrades ?Or are you hinting it will be fixed before next upgrade

I hope it will be fixed but I can't be sure.
It's a value we set in loader.conf already which is why I suggested it there. Values in loader.conf.local should override that but....
Let me test...

Yup, works in loader.conf.local. Use that.

Thanks for the answers,
I have a modem before pfsense. I'll test it when the power goes down and I'll leave a reply on this ticket. Thanks.
Best regards

Hello, It doesn't work with 30, I switched to 60.

Hmm, that's a big delay. I guess your upstream device boots slowly.

There's a patch on the ticket now available if anyone can test it. If we get some positive feedback there we can commit it for 23.01.
