SOLVED reboot iPBX 2020 - knockd service failed

[Brianmac]

ssh into a sandbox and when status page comes up i see Port Knock is Down. Looked back during the update and it failed. Checked the log:

Oct 28 04:35:50 noreply systemd[1]: Starting SYSV: Knock is a port-knocking server/client....

Starting knockd: could not open venet0:0: venet0:0: No such device exists (SIOCGIFHWADDR: No such device)

What is your Interface called?

 

[Brianmac]

eth0

 

[tbrummell]

My guess is you'll need to make /etc/sysconfig/knockd look like this then:

[root@pbx sysconfig]# cat knockd
OPTIONS="-i eth0"
[root@pbx sysconfig]#

 

[Brianmac]

This is what is in there now - I never touched it...

OPTIONS="-i eth0"
OPTIONS="-i venet0:0"

 

[tbrummell]

well, try commenting out the 2nd line and restart knockd.

 

[Brianmac]

ok i commented out the

OPTIONS="-i venet0:0"

and it started fine. weird that this happened, but thanks for the help!
