From 3a1a7c40a13ee9f5561823a79876d88d3f5bf053 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Poessinger Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2022 10:36:33 +0100 Subject: interface: T4203: prevent DHCP client restart if not necessary In the past whenever a change happened to any interface and it was configured as a DHCP client, VyOS always had a breif outage as DHCP released the old lease and re-aquired a new one - bad! This commit changes the behavior that DHCP client is only restarted if any one of the possible options one can set for DHCP client under the "dhcp-options" node is altered. --- python/vyos/ifconfig/interface.py | 26 ++++++++++++++------------ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) (limited to 'python/vyos/ifconfig/interface.py') diff --git a/python/vyos/ifconfig/interface.py b/python/vyos/ifconfig/interface.py index 91c7f0c33..cf1887bf6 100755 --- a/python/vyos/ifconfig/interface.py +++ b/python/vyos/ifconfig/interface.py @@ -1228,12 +1228,11 @@ class Interface(Control): options_file = f'{config_base}_{ifname}.options' pid_file = f'{config_base}_{ifname}.pid' lease_file = f'{config_base}_{ifname}.leases' - - # Stop client with old config files to get the right IF_METRIC. systemd_service = f'dhclient@{ifname}.service' - if is_systemd_service_active(systemd_service): - self._cmd(f'systemctl stop {systemd_service}') + # 'up' check is mandatory b/c even if the interface is A/D, as soon as + # the DHCP client is started the interface will be placed in u/u state. + # This is not what we intended to do when disabling an interface. if enable and 'disable' not in self._config: if dict_search('dhcp_options.host_name', self._config) == None: # read configured system hostname. @@ -1244,16 +1243,19 @@ class Interface(Control): tmp = {'dhcp_options' : { 'host_name' : hostname}} self._config = dict_merge(tmp, self._config) - render(options_file, 'dhcp-client/daemon-options.tmpl', - self._config) - render(config_file, 'dhcp-client/ipv4.tmpl', - self._config) + render(options_file, 'dhcp-client/daemon-options.tmpl', self._config) + render(config_file, 'dhcp-client/ipv4.tmpl', self._config) - # 'up' check is mandatory b/c even if the interface is A/D, as soon as - # the DHCP client is started the interface will be placed in u/u state. - # This is not what we intended to do when disabling an interface. - return self._cmd(f'systemctl restart {systemd_service}') + # When the DHCP client is restarted a brief outage will occur, as + # the old lease is released a new one is acquired (T4203).
