AC86U and GT-AC2900 syslog rc_service: dhcp6c xxxxx:notify_rc restart_ddns

[McRookie]

Hi all.

In the sys log og my two routers I get the following line approx. every second minute totally flooding the syslog:

rc_service: dhcp6c xxxxx :notify_rc restart_ddns

I am pretty sure I did not see it some FW version back. It is normal /expected or it there something wrong with my ISP's WAN?

FW version is 3.0.0.4.386_42494

How long have you been using IPv6 on your WAN connection?

How long have you been using IPv6 on your WAN connection?

Hmm since 2016 I think. since long before these two current routers

 

[ColinTaylor]

Any other messages in the syslog that might indicate a problem setting up IPv6 or DDNS?

No. Only the common deauth /auth when a wifi device turn of.

Ipv6 seems to work fine though when i use an online ipv6 checker

The mesg in the log comes more precicely with 1.30 minute intervals

 

[ColinTaylor]

I think we'd have to see a complete syslog starting from the point when the router first boots up.

 

[McRookie]

That is very long. From reboot to getting online is already veeery long. Is it really needed? How should i upload it ? as a file, pic or as plaint text(too long though)

 

[ColinTaylor]

The usual method is to upload the log to pastebin.com and post a link to it. We're interested in seeing the early boot entries (to make sure that's working as expected) up until the first 3 or 4 restart_ddns messages.

 

[McRookie]

I have uploaded to pastebin from boot to the first couples of related restart_ddns messages. I have removed ip adresses and mac adresses (not sure if I should have done that). My native language is not english btw. So I apologize for any language errors in advance

Thanks for the log file.

Basic question - are you actually using DDNS? Apart from the restart_ddns messages I don't see anything else suggesting DDNS is in use.

There was another discussion regarding IPv6 support for DDNS here.

No - I am not using DDNS. The DDNS client is also disabled in the WAN settings.
It does seem that the messages do not come if IPv6 is disabled

TBH this sounds like a bug.

Maybe if you actually created a DDNS account that would stop it endlessly restarting DDNS.

Hmm ok. Well if it is not an issue i would bother doing it. I also have no knowledge about DDNS.

As long as this bug then dont ruin anything. But maybe it causes unneccesary power/heat.

Any other with a GT-AC2900 or AC86U with similar experience?

I could make a bug report to Asus? Would that be constructive you think?

Yes definitely worth doing. If it is a bug they're not going to fix it if they don't know about it.

I will try to do that then. Other than that you don't see any issues in the log?

 

[ColinTaylor]

No, it all looks normal as far as it goes. So unless there's something later on in the log or you suspect some issue it would appear to be mostly cosmetic.
