Running /jffs/scripts/dhcpc-event (args: leasefail)

Hey all!

I have this in my logs on .57 and .58 constantly EVERY MINUTE (AC3200):

Mar 26 04:10:52 custom script: Running /jffs/scripts/dhcpc-event (args: leasefail)
Mar 26 04:11:22 custom script: Running /jffs/scripts/dhcpc-event (args: leasefail)
Mar 26 04:11:52 custom script: Running /jffs/scripts/dhcpc-event (args: leasefail)
Mar 26 04:12:21 custom script: Running /jffs/scripts/dhcpc-event (args: leasefail)

I use the /jffs/scripts/dhcpc-event script to do stuff when WAN IP is supposed to change (PPPoe with DHCP). But it seems udhcpc (/sbin/udhcpc -i eth0 -p /var/run/udhcpc0.pid -s /tmp/udhcpc -O33 -O249) is constantly failing?

I have found out that if I set "Enable VPN + DHCP Connection" to NO. This does not happen anymore, but /jffs/scripts/dhcpc-event is also not executed anymore! Even though I do get PPPoE IP assigned and everything works.

Something seems wrong here?

If you use PPPoE, then you aren't using DHCP. In this case, it's normal for dhcpc-event to not get called - the IP is allocated by the PPP protocol, not by DHCP.

VPN + DHCP is an hybrid setup required by a Russian ISP where in addition to a PPTP connection, the router also needs to send a DHCP request to the ISP. With PPPoE, you don't, so you get a (normal) failure.

And we cleared that Interestingly, "WAN+DHCP" was switched on by default, not by me. I moved stuff to wan-start script, which I assume is called after every PPPoE IP change!

Thank you very much for prompt response!

Asus has it enabled by default, probably so people with ISPs requiring it will work out-of-the-box.
