Note
(by @AkihiroSuda )

The following commands are reported to fix the issue on some machines:
sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --add /usr/libexec/bootpd
sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --unblock /usr/libexec/bootpd

Description

Environment

macOS Monterey version 12.6.2
Apple M1 Pro chip
limactl version 0.14.1

What I expected

Guest IP address of VM created with limactl start --name=default template://vmnet should be accessible (i.e. can be pinged) from host.

What actually happened

No accessible IP address.

DHCP daemon might not be working? (sudo /usr/libexec/bootpd on the host)

annemirasol · 2022-12-23T17:20:04Z

Great lead, thank you so much!

Running sudo /usr/libexec/bootpd, then limactl stop default && limactl delete default && limactl start --name=default template://vmnet, still gives me no IP address. (I also tried running bootpd with the Enable DHCP service flag -D.)

With the bootpd lead, I found this issue for a different software (canonical/multipass#2387), and the suggested workaround was to disable the firewall. It's not entirely ideal, but it also works for this case. I'm still trying to figure out how to make the allowlist work, but for now, it looks like the firewall needs to be off when starting the instance.

Please feel free to close this issue, as I'm not sure if anything can be done about this on lima's side.

Some details, in case helpful:

With firewall off:

With firewall on:

With firewall on, bootpd somehow gets killed.

I ran this same process on an Intel Mac, on macOS Ventura 13.1. bootpd stays alive whether or not firewall is on.

AkihiroSuda · 2022-12-24T06:36:57Z

Apple's firewall or a thirdparty firewall product?

The shared network works for me with Apple's firewall on Intel macOS 13

Apple's firewall or a thirdparty firewall product?

Apple's built-in firewall.

The shared network works for me with Apple's firewall on Intel macOS 13

Same here, no problems on my other machine that is an Intel macOS 13.

pecigonzalo · 2023-01-20T04:19:43Z

FWIW, I do believe the problem lies in bootp as I see the packets in tcpdump but no reply.

17:43:40.833473 IP 0.0.0.0.bootpc > broadcasthost.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 52:55:55:a5:c0:bb (oui Unknown), length 300

I then tried isc-dhcp with sudo /opt/homebrew/opt/isc-dhcp/sbin/dhcpd -f bridge100 and a config like

❯ cat /opt/homebrew/etc/dhcpd.conf
# dhcpd.conf
#

default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;

# Use this to enble / disable dynamic dns updates globally.
#ddns-update-style none;

# If this DHCP server is the official DHCP server for the local
# network, the authoritative directive should be uncommented.
authoritative;

# Use this to send dhcp log messages to a different log file (you also
# have to hack syslog.conf to complete the redirection).
#log-facility local7;


# My First Subnet
subnet 192.168.106.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 192.168.106.10 192.168.106.200;
  option domain-name-servers 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1;
  option routers 192.168.106.1;
  option broadcast-address 192.168.106.255;

  # Let's let folks keep their IP's for a while
  default-lease-time 6000;
  max-lease-time 72000;
}

Which successfully gave me an IP on the interface. So while we do have the error like this one (which might be related), I believe the core issue is bootp not working, either due to firewall or something else. Unfortunately, I could not find any logs for it.

pecigonzalo · 2023-01-20T13:52:12Z

I ran multiple tests on my macOS (disable firewall, disable this, disable that, etc) and I believe bootp is at fault here. Even running it manually it shows nothing, no log, no anything. I suspect its just not working as a DHCP. If anyone knows how to validate it does work, that would be great.

aelsnz · 2023-04-14T02:50:49Z

I just tested same in my setup and agree, it looks like bootp is it fault. If I create a seperate DHCP server similar to what you did above with isc-dhcp I get the same, a DHCP address is obtained for my underlying QEMU setup.

I was getting this in Colima which seem to be related to this issue discussed here:

FATA[0071] error starting kubernetes: error running [lima kubectl cluster-info], output: "The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?", err: "exit status 1"

The issue is that one network interface does not get a DHCP Address.

I updated to latest Mac OS 13.3 and started getting this issue. Disabled ipv6, which temporary worked, but updated to 13.3.1 and back again not working. Which made me dig into it a bit more.
Spend time looking at socket_vmnet and all seem fine, but a DHCP address does not get assigned.

Steps followed:

Step 1: Start colima: colima -p abc start -k --network-address -c4 -m6 -d10
It fails again with same error

FATA[0071] error starting kubernetes: error running [lima kubectl cluster-info], output: "The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?", err: "exit status 1"

Step 2: Stop the following:

/bin/launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/bootps.plist
/bin/launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dhcp6d.plist

Step 3: Start isc-dhcp service for bridge100, I used "-d" flag to get more output.
Note - install with brew install isc-dhcp and create dhcp config similar to earlier mentioned in post.

sudo /opt/homebrew/opt/isc-dhcp/sbin/dhcpd -d -f bridge100

Step 4: SSH into colima host an obtain address for col0

$ colima ssh
colima:/Users/aelsnz$ sudo su -
colima:~# ifconfig col0
col0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 52:55:55:A2:EA:9D
          inet6 addr: fde2:fcb5:a448:d160:5055:55ff:fea2:ea9d/64 Scope:Global
          inet6 addr: fe80::5055:55ff:fea2:ea9d/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:17 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:39 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:2646 (2.5 KiB)  TX bytes:9754 (9.5 KiB)

colima:~# udhcpc -i col0
udhcpc: started, v1.35.0
udhcpc: broadcasting discover
udhcpc: broadcasting select for 192.168.106.3, server 192.168.106.1
udhcpc: lease of 192.168.106.3 obtained from 192.168.106.1, lease time 5540

IP Address now gets assigned.

I can also now create new colima environments and they work out of box while the isc-dhcp service is running.

Does anyone know how we can troubleshoot or figure out why bootp is not providing DHCP to bridge100
Is ipv6 maybe an issue here - as said, seen setting ipv6 to Link-local Only does help resolve after reboot.

aelsnz · 2023-04-14T21:57:41Z

Additional update:

When I adjust the Mac network ipv6 settings (I am using a LAN connection - not wifi) - and set under TCP/IP the "Configure IPv6" to "Link-Local Only and reboot (in my case, had to reboot twice which I guess does not make sense) - but then it seem as if the bootpd process starts, previously I just got launchd (one process).

Not sure if anyone knows how we can debug or make sure bootpd start properly for ipv4 DHCP?

below we can see what is using dhcp port 67

sudo lsof -nP -i4UDP:67

COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
launchd     1 root   46u  IPv4 0x9b76825c118326e7      0t0  UDP *:67
launchd     1 root   48u  IPv4 0x9b76825c118326e7      0t0  UDP *:67
launchd     1 root   49u  IPv4 0x9b76825c118326e7      0t0  UDP *:67
launchd     1 root   50u  IPv4 0x9b76825c118326e7      0t0  UDP *:67
bootpd  11431 root    0u  IPv4 0x9b76825c118326e7      0t0  UDP *:67
bootpd  11431 root    1u  IPv4 0x9b76825c118326e7      0t0  UDP *:67
bootpd  11431 root    2u  IPv4 0x9b76825c118326e7      0t0  UDP *:67

I did try a few times with something like this to manually try below before the changes to ipv6, but it was as if it starts, but nothing happens. Used below command (did unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/bootps.plist prior to this)

sudo /usr/libexec/bootpd -D -d

even tried:

sudo /usr/libexec/bootpd -D -d -i bridge100

I know of a few people now that has updated to latest Mac OS 13.x and seeing the issues as discussed here.

To add you can use this to see what happens in bootpd and when things work, you can see the DHCP requests, otherwise there is nothing...

sudo log stream --process bootpd --info --debug

some working messages when I start an environment that requests dhcp via socket_vmnet / bridge100

$ sudo log stream --process bootpd --info --debug

@aelsnz thank you for the debug commands, did you find any permanent resolution for this, your steps did help, I did set the IPV6 to link locally and it seems to work after a reboot.

aelsnz · 2023-05-24T02:38:25Z

@AravindGopala unfortunately the issue seem that bootpd does not provide the DHCP address.
This might also relate to - canonical/multipass#2387

As work-around in colima (latest 0.5.5) you can now pass in an environment variable COLIMA_IP and set a fixed IP in the 192.168.106.0/24 subnet - (ideally use above 200) - it is at least an option to get past this if the change on ipv6 does not work for you - I know for some this does not work, and the only option then is to use this environment variable to get a fixed IP. Hope this helps.

@aelsnz Finally this worked for me, I have to run the below command every time I boot once, looks like bootp is being blocked by firewall.

sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --unblock /usr/libexec/bootpd

akudiyar · 2023-09-06T07:58:22Z

For the others who see the above command failing with The application is not part of the firewall, execute first

sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --add /usr/libexec/bootpd

mprimeaux · 2023-09-06T10:58:26Z

After a reboot, I run the following:

sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --add /usr/libexec/bootpd
sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --unblock /usr/libexec/bootpd

Please refer to socket_vmnet issue 18.

AkihiroSuda · 2023-09-30T14:09:08Z

Is this still an issue with macOS 14?

mprimeaux · 2023-09-30T15:20:27Z

Seems the answer is yes.

This is on macOS 14.0 on an M2 Ultra. I see this open issue is on the M1 but the fact I'm on an M2 is unlikely a factor. Turning the macOS firewall off has no effect on ping absorption and stealth mode is not enabled.

AkihiroSuda · 2023-09-30T15:45:43Z

Thanks

This issue might be still specific to ARM Mac?
I can never reproduce issue, maybe because I’m using Intel?

ping 192.168.5.15

This is invalid anyway. This IP is never reachable from the host.

Please make sure you have “lima:shared” network in the YAML. If it is working properly, you’ll get an IP like 192.168.105.2 associated with “lima0” interface.

mprimeaux · 2023-09-30T15:54:49Z

I can't really comment on this issue since I don't really have a need to ping the NAT'd address. I just access the loopback on a specific port if needed.

This issue might be still specific to ARM Mac? I can never reproduce issue, maybe because I’m using Intel?

Now as to this point, there most definitely are behavioral differences with Lima on Intel versus ARM. As an example, Lima freezes indefinitely at times when I build container images. The only way to recover is limactl stop --force && limactl rm default && limactl start --name=default --tty=false. This happens once or so every few days on my ARM machines but has never occurred on Intel.

Thanks, so the issue seems resolved with the recent macOS?
The socketfilterfw workaround is no longer needed?

mprimeaux · 2023-09-30T21:31:41Z

To test that hypothesis, I'll need to fully reboot and run a few tests. Let me try that next.

I also no longer have a machine with an M1 anymore; only M2 machines and an Intel-based Mac in my home lab so I'm unsure how conclusive the test results will be but it will at least provide a data point.

mprimeaux · 2023-09-30T21:35:43Z

Actually, I do have an M1 machine. I'll test on both.

AkihiroSuda · 2023-09-30T22:38:28Z

Thank you, looks like socketfilterfw is still needed for you machine.

A weird thing is that the socketfilterfw command doesn't seem to work at all for my Intel Mac with macOS 14.0:

$ sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw  --add /usr/libexec/bootpd 
The file path you specified does not exist

$ file /usr/libexec/bootpd 
/usr/libexec/bootpd: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64e:Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e]

/usr/libexec/bootpd (for architecture arm64e):  Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e

AkihiroSuda · 2023-09-30T22:40:17Z

A rumor is that socketfilterfw doesn't work on Japanese macOS:
https://gist.github.com/techraf/ef5a6aae636f52eec09b?permalink_comment_id=2974356#gistcomment-2974356

A customer has the same effect "The file path you specified does not exist", in all cases, with or without sudo, but only when macOS is in Japanese.

mprimeaux · 2023-09-30T22:56:14Z

The gist is interesting and caused me to run the same socketfilterfw workaround on my Intel-based Mac with macOS 14 ; socketfilterfw is indeed present on the US English version of the OS.

file /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw
/usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64e:Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e]
/usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw (for architecture x86_64):	Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw (for architecture arm64e):	Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e

file /usr/libexec/bootpd
/usr/libexec/bootpd: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64e:Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e]

/usr/libexec/bootpd (for architecture arm64e):	Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e

I had the pleasure of living in Tokyo for a few years and still keep in contact with my friends there; I'm sure they will be interested in the gist. Thanks for sharing!

Of course, the big question is "why does socketfilterfw not exist on the Japanese macOS?".

mprimeaux · 2023-09-30T22:57:58Z

It would be interesting to know if socketfilterfw exists on an M1 or M2 with Japanese macOS.

AkihiroSuda · 2023-09-30T22:59:52Z

/usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw exists, and /usr/libexec/bootpd exists too, but /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw thinks that /usr/libexec/bootpd does not exist 🤔

mprimeaux · 2023-09-30T23:01:56Z

Ah. I thought the exception "The file path you specified does not exist" was from file not finding /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw. 🤔 is right

madalinignisca · 2024-06-05T13:34:36Z

I have the same problem on Intel mac. Using macOS 14.5 and lima 0.22.0.

Neither lima:shared or vzNat will get on the second interface an ip.

Which is the service expected to provide dhcpd and maybe there must be some one time setup before creating vms to do?

I'm posting this comment like 1h after I tried Lima for the first time. Except not getting an ip, following all in the docs, everything else worked as expected.

Inspecting the network after getting started with Lima, I noticed a new bridge100 interface with 2 member interfaces vmenet0 and vmenet2. The bridge has 192.168.105.1 setup, but if Lima was supposed to configure some dhcpd service on the host or instruct virtualization framework for doing it, it didn't worked.
