      Those messages are expected and not necessarily an error.

      Try entering 'ctl+t' there and see what it's waiting for.

          Did you just switch to Kea for dhcp6?

          Does that output ever change?

              And the output of ctl+t doesn't change? It continues to wait for Kea?

                  Hmm, that's odd. The dhcp6 process appears to have started correctly in the logs.

                  What version did you upgrade from?

                    I'm not sure which version I started with since this problem has been around for a long time. DHCP has been started

                      Oh you were seeing the same issue in earlier versions?

                      How did you upgrade then if bootup never completes. You installed 2.7.2 clean and restore a config?

                        yes. In fact, DHCP is working, but the pfsense startup interface is not completed.

                          Ah, Ok. Are you able to connect to the firewall at all then? SSH working?

                          Anything shown in the system log?

                            I just tried to delete all the "DHCPv6 Static Mappings" setting and restarted the pfsense system just now. The startup interface was completed.

                              The LAN ipv4 I mentioned before cannot be routed through the ISP WAN. I haven't found a solution to this problem yet. I have set up static routing to let a lot of ipv4 be routed through the ISP WAN. But it doesn't seem to work.

                                What do you have in the v6 static mappings? It seems like something Kea doesn't like.

                                If you switch back to ISC DHCPd does it allow those mappings again?

                                    That's what happens if you switch back to ISC?

                                      back to ISC DHCP, it ipv4 DHCP not work. Lan pc can't get dhcp ip.

                                        Hmm, but it was working before you switched to Kea?

                                        The service is running?

                                          Hmm, but it was working before you switched to Kea?

                                          The service is running?

                                          yes, kea is runing. but i setup Static routing like 117.32.0.0/13 to WAN, other ips via VPN. the LAN's can't route to 117.32.0.0/13 now.

That's what happens if you switch back to ISC?

                                            back to ISC DHCP, it ipv4 DHCP not work. Lan pc can't get dhcp ip.

                                            So.... not back to ISC?

                                            Static routes would be completely unrelated to DHCP though anyway.
