I am having a raspberry pi jessie OS. I configured it as ethernet to ethernet router. eth0 is connected to a modem and eth1 is actually a usb to eth converter. Rpi get internet through the eth0 interface and eth1 is connected to ubiquity for providing wifi hotspot. All are working well for a day and suddenly something is happened to the Rpi. I got the following messages in the syslog.

Sep  7 06:24:09 raspberrypi dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 192.168.1.1 port 67
Sep  7 06:24:09 raspberrypi dhclient: send_packet: Network is unreachable
Sep  7 06:24:09 raspberrypi dhclient: send_packet: please consult README file regarding broadcast address.
Sep  7 06:24:10 raspberrypi dhclient: dhclient.c:2243: Failed to send 300 byte long packet over fallback interface.

After 8 hours, this message is changed to following

Sep  7 14:34:38 raspberrypi dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 19
Sep  7 14:34:38 raspberrypi dhclient: send_packet: No such device
Sep  7 14:34:38 raspberrypi dhclient: dhclient.c:1966: Failed to send 300 byte long packet over eth0 interface.

and then to

Sep  7 14:35:32 raspberrypi dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.
Sep  7 14:35:32 raspberrypi dhclient: No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

So I have rebooted the machine. After reboot, it again became to working condition. Can anyone help me to understand what is going on?

This is the full log error before the above-said lines. Can you please look at the log. I was unable to understand it.

  • Something has broken the network connection. The changed message after 8 hours is only a following error because the DHCP lease has expired and the RENEW fails because of the broken connection. But I can't help much more because I haven't used Jessie since years. It's old-old stable and you may consider to upgrade to up to date Buster.

This is not really a complete answer but you asked to look at the log. Due to formating issues it can only be done in an answer. But it may help you anyway.

There is a DHCP server dnsmasq running on the RasPi that serves ip addresses to interface eth1 on subnet 192.168.42.0/24 (bitmask guessed). The DHCPREQESTs are successful (DHCPACK from device ESP_65E594) and devices on that subnet get an ip address. This implies that there must not run a second DHCP server on the wifi hotspot connected to eth1 and its access point is bridged with the wired connection.

Sep  6 17:46:57 raspberrypi avahi-daemon[528]: Withdrawing address record for 192.168.1.2 on eth0.

Interface eth0 has ip address 192.168.1.2 to connect to the internet modem. I guess it is a static ip address. So we have two subnets 192.168.42.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 (bitmasks guessed) and we have to use routing to get access to the internet from the wifi hotspot. Routing must be enabled. Check with:

rpi ~$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
1

This must return 1. Now we come to the critical part:

As you can see the kernel is disabling the internal USB hub on the Raspberry Pi. All other messages are following errors of the disabled USB hub. The problem is that the built-in wired port is also connected to the internal USB hub so both interfaces eth0 and eth1 (USB/ethernet dongle) will fail. The reason why the kernel is doing this cannot be seen in the log. I would focus on the USB hub why it fails. First try to run the RasPi with only one ethernet cable connected to check what connection may give problems.
