DHCP failure after upgrade to 2.9

We upgraded our MAAS 2.8.2 to 2.9 and since the upgrade our DHCP server is broken and won’t start and this we are unable to do a lot of what we need to with MAAS.

If I check in /var/snap/maas/common/maas the dhcpd.conf is missing. In the UI DHCP is not started.

In the regiond.log it spits out code as follows:

2020-12-17 07:42:51 maasserver.dhcp: [warn] No DNS servers found, DHCP defaulting to region IP.
2020-12-17 07:42:51 maasserver.rack_controller: [critical] Failed configuring DHCP on rack controller ‘id:2’.

I found this link with someone else who has the exact same problem.

I suspect the dhcpd.conf is not being generated by the maasserver/dhcp.py and this causing this problem.

We discovered that there was a new IPv6 network added and that was causing the problem, we removed it and once again all is working as it should be !!

@mikectza, that was good network detective work! i’m going to make a note to add this to our “tips, tricks, and traps” page as a potential gotcha. thanks for the update.
