Good day, all! Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I have been reading the forums for a couple of hours trying to find a solution to my issue. It seems there are various issues with DHCP and Jails, but I have not been able to find one directly related to my issue. The main problem is, my jails are no longer receiving an IPv4 address (though they are receiving IPv6 addresses). If I put in a static IPv4 address in the network settings for the jail, I can ping the IP address of the FreeNAS server itself, but I cannot get out any further. Two things have changed from the original working setup, and unfortunately I didn't notice the problem in time to be able to narrow down which change might be the culprit. A little about my setup:
Host is an esxi 6.7U2 setup. FreeNAS is a VM on this setup.
FreeNAS 11.3-U3.2 is getting an address from DHCP (set as a static dhcp on my pfsense router)
All native FreeNAS functions work just fine. It's just the jails that are not getting an IPv4 address nor are able to route with a static address.
I have tried creating fresh jails with the minimum basic settings, and still I am unable to receive an address or route via IPv4. For Example:
"Fresh" Jail
1. Initial Settings
Name: Test
Type: Clone
Release: 11.3
2. Network Settings
DHCP Box Checked
NAT Box Unchecked
VNET Box Checked
Autoconfigure IPv6 Box Checked
Jail Summary
Error: [EFAULT] + Acquiring DHCP address: FAILED, address received: 0.0.0.0/8 Stopped Test due to DHCP failure
I *DID* enable promiscuous mode on the esxi virtual interface that is used for the FreeNAS server. It is also on an untagged (default) vlan (1). I'm sure there are a hundred other pieces of information you might need to help, and I will be happy to provide whatever other logs or settings are necessary. I very much appreciate your time and help!
