Just updated.

I see no difference in PPP behaviour since unpatched 24.7.3
Still have to do the vlan-jiggle to get PPP to come up, still have to manually start dhcp6, but overall a smooth update.

Hi Franco,

Anything I can do to help you track this down further?

@franco

I just updated to 24.7.2. Update went flawless, but I still had to do the vlan jiggle to WAN to come up.

Was the patch/possible you were referring to fully implemented in 24.7.2? There still appears to be ongoing development in that the pinned PPPoe thread.

TLDR: not fixed quite yet. If there's anything I can do to help track this down, I'm happy to file a report, but please tell me which logs/info you'd need.

Could be this issue/fix https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/62a09bfa0a1 -- it's planned to be added to 24.7.2.


Cheers,
Franco

Thank you. I'm not comfortable compiling the test patch, but I'll wait to see if this fixes it. If not, I'll get back to this thread and see if we can figure out what is going on.

Hi,

I've been having this issue for a while. Upgrading to 24.7 reminded me.

My connection (KPN NL Fiber) requires PPPoe with a vlan on WAN to set up connectivity.
This works well, but after every reboot (upgrade, manual reboot) or change to the WAN interface (fiddling with ipv6 in this case), the interface goes down.

The fix is to manually  disable the vlan on the interface, save, re-enable it and save again for connectivity to pick up.
Interfaces > Point to Point > Devices > edit > untick vlan0.x > Save > tick vlan0.x > Save

I've tried looking at the logs, but I'm out of my depth and I'm not seeing any smoking guns.
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if I am missing a setting somewhere to reconnect the pppoe/vlan automatically.
Can someone help track this down so I can either resolve this or file a meaningful bug report?
