jails bridge0 not coming up at boot.

[ikke]

Hi,

I'm again having this problem which I thought was thing of a past. My network config is missing the bridge0 needed by iocage jails at reboot. I'm running:

Freenas: the latest FreeNAS-11.3-U4

on mobo:
Base Board Information Manufacturer: Supermicro Product Name: A2SDi-4C-HLN4F

I have these two system tunables which used to enable the bridge at some version of freenas:

Variable: cloned_interfaces
Value: bridge0
Type: rc
Description: add bridge for jails
Enabled: yes

Variable: ifconfig_bridge0
Value: addm ix0 up
Type: rc
Description: Add ix0 as member to bridge
Enabled: yes

To recover this after reboot I do:
# ifconfig bridge create # ifconfig bridge0 addm ix0 # iocage start dbs * Starting dbs-11-2 + Started OK + Using devfs_ruleset: 6 + Using IP options: ip4.addr=bridge0|192.168.11.243/24 ip4.saddrsel=1 ip4=new ip6.saddrsel=1 ip6=new + Starting services OK + Executing poststart OK

My ifconfig after the above commands:
# ifconfig ix0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 description: ix0 options=e403bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,VLAN_HWTSO,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6> ether ac:1f:6b:b1:e3:8c hwaddr ac:1f:6b:b1:e3:8c inet 192.168.11.252 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.11.255 nd6 options=9<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED> media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex,rxpause,txpause>) status: active ix1: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=e407bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,LRO,VLAN_HWTSO,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6> ether ac:1f:6b:b1:e3:8d hwaddr ac:1f:6b:b1:e3:8d nd6 options=1<PERFORMNUD> media: Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier ix2: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=e407bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,LRO,VLAN_HWTSO,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6> ether ac:1f:6b:b1:e3:8e hwaddr ac:1f:6b:b1:e3:8e nd6 options=1<PERFORMNUD> media: Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier ix3: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=e407bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,LRO,VLAN_HWTSO,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6> ether ac:1f:6b:b1:e3:8f hwaddr ac:1f:6b:b1:e3:8f nd6 options=1<PERFORMNUD> media: Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=680003<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,LINKSTATE,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6> inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> groups: lo bridge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 02:63:7b:f9:ea:00 inet 192.168.117.243 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.117.255 nd6 options=1<PERFORMNUD> groups: bridge id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15 maxage 20 holdcnt 6 proto rstp maxaddr 2000 timeout 1200 root id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 ifcost 0 port 0 member: ix0 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP> ifmaxaddr 0 port 1 priority 128 path cost 2000

How is this supposed to be done these days? I want to use the host's network with public IPs. Apparently the tunables trick doesn't work any longer.

This problem makes me avoid rebooting freenas, or upgrading, as it will never recover the services after reboot. Which makes freenas feel very unreliable. What should I do instead nowadays?

I verify, using "network -> interfaces -> add -> bridge" works perfectly. I never noticed the UI has such option. Great!
