    Bandwidthd would not work well, barely would load for me. I have ntopng and traffic totals. I see that today, something downloaded 5.5GB of data and no one has been on the internet expect to check weather and these posts.

    I cannot find how to look to see what device today in ntopng has downloaded that data and what kinda.

    If you look at this screen shot, WAN Rx has 2.5GB and CAMLAN Tx has almost that much. I thought Tx was transmit? I did log on around 1PM to download 2 updates for the NVR software, one of which I don't know how large it is. Also, of note, I used Remote Desktop Connection to remote into the NVR system from LAN VLAN. Is it possible that this tool is measuring traffic from CAMLAN to LAN traffic?

    You should be able to attach it.

    We need to see at least the backtrace and panic string. The message buffer leading up to it is usually helpful.

    If you're running 23.01 the stable branch is currently the only thing you should see offered. The dev branch (23.05) is not made public until it is stable enough. Currently we are still committing code that may break it entirely between snapshots!

    @dobby_

    The users want to access the server for file sharing and other resources. Although this will serve as a web server, it's intensions are also to serve as internal server.

    Hmm, never mind, I poked around other logs and see

    Mar 31 11:42:22 syslogd kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel Mar 31 11:42:21 syslogd exiting on signal 15

    ...so apparently there was a reason it stopped logging. Just not a good one.

    I wouldn't expect the ppp log to show anything further.

    If you can replicate it easily it would be interesting to have two crash reports.

    @ernestostvo I'll never do another survey for Netgate again - including the current one going around.

    @stephenw10 said in SAP (business application) disconnecting:

    You can just set the firewall optimisation to conservative to increase the state timeouts:

    https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/config/advanced-firewall-nat.html#firewall-optimization-options

    A TCP keep-alive would be something inside the VPN which I assume is from your client on OPT to the remove Zscaler device directly.

    Steve

    I'll follow those instructions, thank you!

    @michmoor I set it to transparent and it's good to go. I kept thinking maybe a container or FreeBSD jail was running that connected to something. But the transparent mode fixed it.

    Already done, thanks. But now I will try to unlock the Modem/ONT in order to read its settings or I will look for a compatible SFP module to use the same 4100 as ONT. I don't see other possibilities. If you have any other ideas, welcome.
    Thanks anyway for the assistance you have provided me.

    @bmeeks I am sorry for the delay, being an enthusiast puts a limit on how much time I can devote to my server... I disabled the widget and saw no other errors. I will re-enable it (just for testing) and will pull any logs on the first available chance.

    Thanks for all feedbacks!

    @stephenw10 said in pfSense LAGG-LACP with HP VC FlexFabric Switch:

    Timeouts might be a fast/slow mismatch.

    Can you see any debug info from the switch stack?

    Changing of the Timeout did not help. I tried it on both side so that every side had the same setting.
    We are looking for the debug log, so far there are not many info's in the log.

    @havanna said in pfSense LAGG-LACP with HP VC FlexFabric Switch:

    You can try:
    ...

    Hmm non of the command are working.
    We are using the HPE Virtual Connect Management CLI v4.85

    Are you commands for this type of switch? I look around and could not find any similar commands. We configured everything on the WEBgui.
