Hotplug event on backup interface resets connections
-
@gertjan yes, even if i check mark the Disable Gateway Monitoring and Disable Gateway Monitoring Action on Backup interface it still reset the connections on Primary Interface
-
The only time you see that caused by software is if you;re running Snort/Suricata in in-line mode and it restarts. Are running either?
It still shouldn't reset states though.Steve

@stephenw10 no, i dont have any packege installed not sure why is doing that, is it beacuse i changed the interface name?
-
If you changed the interface name it would do that because it would reapply all the interface properties including the link speed/type. But it would only do it once when you actually made the change.

@stephenw10 its doing every time that my backup router keeps rebooting by itself. I am waiting for my service provider to change the router but i want to see if there is a bug somewhere in the pfsense, because it doesnt make sense to me to reset all connection because of something that is doing my backup interface, no sure if you guys can test in your enviroment
-
Ah, OK so it really is loosing link on that interface. That explains the logs you're seeing.
But we still wouldn't expect it to lose states on other interfaces when that happens.
Does it actually reset the states? If you look at the Status > Monitoring graphs for states use do you see them drop to zero?

@stephenw10 i just restarted the router that is on the backup interface and i got ping timeout also the phone calls droped and i did not have internet for like 10 seconds, the time that i did reboot was 15:28:00 ,here is the screenshot
-
Hmm, well it's certainly loosing some states. The averaging is probably hiding the exact number.
How many states do you have using the backup WAN normally? Before you rebooted it?

@stephenw10 i did restart the pfsense and now i dont have that issue anymore, maybe i had to restart pfsense after i did change the interface name of the backup internet i am not sure. I also tried now to uncheck the Disable Gateway Monitoring because i want to receive notification if my backup internet has issue but if i uncheck it will reset all connections if my backup internet has issue, i think it should not do that because the Disable Gateway Monitoring Action is checked but if check mark the Disable Gateway Monitoring i dont have issue now.

Hmm, weird!
Take the win and move on....
