Vlan Config and firewall rules
-
@wapabeti I can’t see a scenario where a router or network can cause a device to reboot by itself. Maybe a ground loop wiring problem?
-
@Jarhead what additional info would you require?
-
@SteveITS what I have notice is that at the precise time, I am unable to access the device using the IP address, but when I log into pfsense web GUI I can still see the IP, the device reboots due to lost if IP address.
-
@wapabeti Are you using Kea DHCP, which, despite the warning banner in pfSense, is in "feature preview" and incomplete? If so I'd start by switching back.
-
@SteveITS yes I am, kindly asking for instruction on how I can revert back.

"Administrators can easily switch between ISC DHCPD and Kea by navigating to System > Advanced, Networking tab and changing the new Server Backend setting in the DHCP Options section." -
@SteveITS Noted and I have switched back and will observe.
-
@SteveITS Undate, this did not work
-
@wapabeti If you think it's a DHCP issue is there anything in the pfSense DHCP log? Or a log on the device about why it's losing its IP? (which is what I understood you to say)
-
@SteveITS Good day my sincere apologies for replying late, I had travelled and had no access to my network,I have upload screenshot of the Logs, 10.11.70.55 is the device in question and the logs are during the dropout. Hope this can provide more info
-
@wapabeti So it's repeatedly reassigning the same IP? That was a problem in the very early phase of 23.09 as I recall, and fixed for not-early-upgraders and for all in 23.09.1. Are you on 23.09.1?

@SteveITS Good day am on 23.09.1, is there a way around this this issue?
