Description

When the system default gateway is set to automatic the system determines which default gateway should be used. Even when this process is successful, an error is logged that a default gateway could not be found. For example the following is logged on every reboot:

Feb 6 15:39:05     php-fpm     613     ERROR No default gateway found
Feb 6 15:39:05     php-cgi     714     ERROR No default gateway found
Feb 6 15:39:05     php-fpm     613     NOTICE No default gateway available for inet6, use the first one configured. 'WAN_DHCP6'
Feb 6 15:39:05     php-cgi     714     NOTICE No default gateway available for inet6, use the first one configured. 'WAN_DHCP6'
