Obtaining global IP after a power outage
-
Hello. I've been running 2.4.4-RELEASE-p2 for some years now. One problem I have is that after a power outage the router doesn't pick up the global ip from Motorola cable modem. I have to power-cycle Motorola again for pfsense to pick up the global IP. Is there a better way? Thanks

current is 2.7.2 - not going to get many people willing to help you with such an outdated version. 2.4.4 - that version came out in 2019..
I would suggest you update to current, and if you still have your problem then people will be willing to help you figure out what is going on.

@johnpoz I tried to figure out how to update. On the dashboard version it says that "The system is on the latest version "

From that many versions back I would just reinstall to 2.7.2 and restore the config.
But what IP does it get? A private IP from the modem?
You can set the dhcp client to reject leases from the modem server IP to prevent that. Cable modems will comonly hand out their own leases until the line syncs.
