ISP went down and now dhcp doesn’t seem to work.
-
So my isp had an outage and then performed maintenance. While it was down I couldn’t access pfSense at all locally. Every device on my network has a 169 ip. Once the isp came back up, I can get internet find directly to the modem. However, all devices remain unchanged.
I tried setting an ip manually but still can’t access the web gui to check dhcp settings. I’ve tried other ports on the pfSense box with no change or luck. Everything has been rebooted a few times also. I’m looking for any advice or things to try here to get dhcp working again or determine the issue. I can’t ssh either. TIA.

@rh128 Sounds like you actually lost connection on the LAN interface.
Can you plug a pc directly into the pfSense LAN port and see what you get? -
@jarhead still a 169
-
@rh128 Set a static ip on the pc in the range of your LAN and try to connect.
-
@jarhead still cannot connect. I can put a keyboard and mouse on the box running pfSense if that helps and there is a ways to check it.
-
@rh128 Do you get to the console?
Try option 11, then 16 -
@jarhead I’m not sure there. I get to a boot menu for single user, multi user, etc. Don’t see those options.

When booting it stops at cpu_reset: Restarting BSP
cpu_reset_proxy: Stopped CPU 5 -
@rh128 said in ISP went down and now dhcp doesn’t seem to work.:

You didn't just power cycle pfsense did you.. That is not safe practice for sure..
-
@johnpoz the pfSense box was rebooted once, my bad on that. I rebooted the modem and switches a couple times.
-
@rh128 well if not booting something seems to have gotten hosed.. prob going to need to do clean install and restore you backup config.
-
Ok I ran a file system check a few times and that cleaned it up and a reboot from Cli fixed it. Whew. Thank you both!

@rh128 that is good news! yeah not good idea to just pull the power plug on pfsense. You running ZFS - that is suppose to be better than UFS..
