I've got a box running vyos connected directly to my ONT and configured to pull down an ip via dhcp (no other dhcpcd options set).
This seems to work fine, but there was a maintenance event last night, and it didn't pick up an ip again until I told it to renew. (so no internet connectivity until I forced the renew).
It seems like it's receiving long dhcp leases or something.
I remember reading somewhere on here that the lease time is supposed to be very low (5 minutes?). Is it possible that sonic's dhcp server is handing out leases for any lease length requested despite it supposed to only be x minutes normally? Maybe I'm just stupid and need to force dhcpcd to ask for short leases. (is the sonic provided pace box set to ask for a specific lease length or is it the responsibility of the dhcp server to hand out the lease with x lenght?)
What is the normal/appropriate behavior for dhcp leases on Fiber?
I AM renting the pace router as well (it's just not hooked up to anything) so I could switch back to that, but I'd rather keep my vyos setup and comply with sonic's configuration
