LAN switches to crashing Kiadhcp
-
After configuring an OPT interface as an additional LAN2 and configuring two LAN switches.
When I use LAN2, Kiadhcp crashes periodically. If I use LAN1, it will be ok, I think.
I do not have an error log from the dhcp, only warm and from the watchdog and also visually from the status of the services.A has used the following manuals:

The watchdog package is "for developers only". Believe me, you don't need it.
Most, if not all log messages you've shown are normal startup messages.
The system log servicewatchdog_cron messages are probably you as the admin (example) editing some interface related options, like switch options, and after the Save, the interface related services - like the DHCP server(s), get restarted. That's normal.
But while it was restarting, the watchdog package detected that is wasn't running (isn't that genius ?), so it will also (re) started the same service...
You got the issue here ? At beast, you'll get a nasty race condition.
At worst .... well, I never went there (as I'm not a developer ...) but I'm not going in that rabbit hole.
( told you, the watchdog is that dumb - it often breaks more then that it solves )I'm using 24.11 on a 4100. Been using kea server IPv4 and IPv6 on several LAN interfaces. No issue what so ever, and I'm not surprised. True, Every kea aspect isn't tested for a full 100 % (99,9 is probably reached ^^), but Netgate did test 24.11 on their own equipment before releasing it.

Maybe, but I see that Surigata is down at some point in the morning. After this issue, I was used to Watchdog.

( told you, the watchdog is that dumb - it often breaks more then that it solves )Maybe you are right, but I do not understand why it was working well before I configured switches :). It is good that the watchdog restarts the service, but if you have 50 notifications a night that the service was down........
In any case, my opinion is that it is not a good thing.

for that of course.
And during the morning, a good cup of coffee, and your repair the issue and call it a day.
If kea was needing the "watchdog" ti stay active, that would have been known here on the forum.
Guess what - it isn't ?So, what about undoing what you've done, to reach a stable situation again ?
D you have by any chance the log snippet where it shows that kea crashes ?
And what did the other (system, gateway alert etc) logs mention at that time ?Btw : are you using an (arm based ) 2100 or the (intel based) 7100 ?

Ok, I remove kiadhcp from watchdog. I'll test it a few days and let you know if it's down in the morning.

I using 2100 so correct manual was https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/netgate-2100/configuring-the-switch-ports.html .

Maybe, but I see that Surigata is down at some point in the morning. After this issue, I was used to Watchdog.
Using Service Watchdog with Suricata or Snort is another recipe for disaster. I'm the developer/maintainer for both of those packages, so trust me
, I know of what I am speaking.Service Watchdog does not know how to properly monitor the running state of the IDS/IPS packages, especially if deployed on multiple interfaces. It also does not understand that the packages periodically restart themselves for things like rules updates. The Service Watchdog package will blindly issue a restart command of its own in that circumstance which can lead to multiple copies of the IDS/IPS binary running on the same interface.

@Gertjan Surprisingly, it even works without a watchdog and does not go down.
Thanks for help
