DHCP on 9.10 Jail unselectable

[jerryjharrison]

First of all, this is has been a freeNas server for years without issue. It has been running 9.10 with a jail getting a DHCP address since 9.10 was released. Recently the server has a valid network stack, but I was not able to access anything from the jail, and the DHCP button on the advanced Jail configuration could not be selected. I became frustrated, wiped out the server completely, and did a fresh install of 9.10 on the server. I even wiped out the zfs pool when re-installing so that I was certain all was completely clean. Tried to create a jail, and got the same issue. The server has no problems on the main interface, but the jails do not even appear to have an interface created.

I tried installing the Owncloud plugin to see what happens with that jail, and it has a NIC, and gets DHCP wiht no problems.

The ifconfig output for the PLUGIN:

Code:

The ifconfig output for the JAIL:

Code:

root@octest2:/ # ifconfig

        options=600003<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6>                   
        nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>                               
root@octest2:/ # 

General Configuration for Jails is just the properly defined jailroot and DHCP is checked.

Check the MAC address of the jail interface, it could be duplicated with another jail/plugin and we have seen this on the forum for a while now, hopefully this is your problem too. Run Static IPs if you want to ensure stuff like this doesn't happen again.

Thanks Joe. I had searched the Forum, but must have missed discussions about this issue. Static IP configuration, and creating a new jail seemed to get it back on the network. reconfiguring all of my jails now...

the jail dhcp problem is listed as fixed in the 9.10.1 release notes
