Layer 2 switch become unresponsive
-
Hi Everyone,
I have two LAN segments 1 for WiFi and 1 for wired clinets. Each network is connected to TP-LINK SG1016D (1 Gbps 16port). I am observing that randomly both switch will become unresponsive (same time). I have to power cycle them to make them functional. I am able to replicate this issue with other swtich (vendor/netgear).
Pfsense - 2.7.2-RELEASE (amd64)
Wifi - 192.168.2.0/24
Wired - 192.168.1.0/24WAN - Loadbalancing two ISP via gateway groups.
Would apreciate if anyone have any idea what could be wrong.

@nischay sure your not running into a broadcast storm? Or bad traffic on the wire?
Are you just talking about access to the web gui of the switch? Or like the whole network or portion of it fails to work.. I have a cheap little tplink sg108e that I rarely access.. And sometime when I do go to access it the web gui doesn't come up, and yeah have to reboot it to gain access to the gui..
If the whole switch stops switching I would sniff to see if your seeing such issues. I have seen malformed packets on the wire take down a switch, same with a broadcast storm/loop can do the same thing.
Pfsense would really not have anything to do with a switch, actually switching.. Or its gui not working, If gui just doesn't work - do you have an arp entry for its IP?
