Title: DHCP WAN renewed long before expiration
Post by: Mr. Happy on October 23, 2020, 04:50:21 pm

The leasetime from my provider is 604800 seconds, but after 32 hours my WAN goes down and it does a renew.
Everytime the connection goes down it takes about one minute to get back up again. Not very convenient if you're videoconferencing  :o.
I took a look at dhclient.leases.bge0 and it shows me (right after the last renew) the following:

Code: [Select]

lease {
  interface "bge0";
  fixed-address xxx.xxx.xx5.54;
  next-server xxx.xxx.xx2.1;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.252.0;
  option routers xxx.xxx.xx2.1;
  option domain-name-servers yyy.yyy.yy1.57,yyy.zzz.zz3.215;
  option dhcp-lease-time 604800;
  option dhcp-message-type 5;
  option dhcp-server-identifier yyy.yyy.yy1.55;
  renew 0 2020/10/25 18:12:36;
  rebind 3 2020/10/28 09:12:36;
  expire 4 2020/10/29 06:12:36;
}
lease {
  interface "bge0";
  fixed-address xxx.xxx.xx5.54;
  next-server xxx.xxx.xx2.1;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.252.0;
  option routers xxx.xxx.xx2.1;
  option domain-name-servers yyy.yyy.yy1.57,yyy.zzz.zz3.215;
  option dhcp-lease-time 489798;
  option dhcp-message-type 5;
  option dhcp-server-identifier yyy.yyy.yy1.55;
  renew 1 2020/10/26 10:10:57;
  rebind 3 2020/10/28 13:12:06;
  expire 4 2020/10/29 06:12:36;
}The first lease-time is 7 days, but the renew 0 is in about 32 hours.
The second lease-time is a bit over 5 days, and the renew 1 is in 48 hours.

Is it possible to have the renew 0 and 1 run later and have the WAN not go down, but continue running??
