WAN down after reboot, Pressing "DHCP Renew" manually will fix it
-
I am using pfsense in a line of sight wifi system (sorry, dont exactly know what it is). After a reboot, the link is marked as "down". I am getting a (private) address by DHCP only if I press "Renew" under Status/Interfaces/WAN. I know that it would be better to get a public IP but thats how it is with this provider.
Is there a solution to issue that button press with ShellCMD or Cron?
PFsense is 2.2.4 -
I hopefully figured out this myself. I wrote a little php script (see attachement) that seems to do the same thing as if I pressed the renew button. The script executes correctly. I have added this to a daily cron job and a shellcmd.
However I do not dare to reboot pfsense and test if it really works because I would have to take an airplane flight to fix it… -
Hello there,
I'm having this problem and was wondering if you can provide a step by step?
Much appreciated.
