WAN periodically Rebooting

[diyhouse]

@stephenw10
Tx,..
Ok,.. just trying to copy file over to /conf... but insufficient privs,.. sudo does not work...
and from what I can read I have to use the shell window offered from the console,.. with a direct login at the h/w,.. or have I missed something..?

[stephenw10]

You can do it from the gui Diag > Command Prompt.

Then edit it from Diag > Edit File

@diyhouse well bit the bullet,.. suffered in 40C loft ambient
File copied ,. and edited with a bit of vi... followed by a reboot..
Now I wait for next event..
Thanks

[stephenw10]

Ha, hottest day of the year, clearly the best day for it.

For reference though you can do it from the GUI or by logging in as admin.

[diyhouse]

@stephenw10 Yep it was hot,.. But file edited,.. I did try ssh'ing into pfsense as 'admin',..
but this did not work,.
also how do I reload setting and force the new setting into play...?
( all good so far 20 mins in,.. no errors on PPP,.. )
Tx

[stephenw10]

Re-saving the WAN interface should do it.

[diyhouse]

@diyhouse,.. Well spoke to soon,.. had numerous reboots,.. around 5:30am this morning,.. and its been off several times since,.. These are the most recent PPP down... Any thoughts..

@diyhouse said in WAN periodically Rebooting:

Aug 13 13:21:39 ppp 71373 [wan_link0] Link: DOWN event
Aug 13 13:21:39 ppp 71373 [wan_link0] PPPoE: connection closed

Well it doesn't appear to be LCP echo requests timing out. In each case the first thing logged is the connection closing. Hmm. Nothing in the main log at that point?

[diyhouse]

@stephenw10 The Main system=>General Log looks as follows just prior to the connection lost..
Just in passing what does this mean,

Aug 13 13:21:40	ppp	71373	[wan] IFACE: Removing IPv4 address from pppoe0 failed(IGNORING for now. This should be only for PPPoE friendly!): Can't assign requested address

[stephenw10]

Hmm, all that looks like it's caused by the PPPoE connection closing. Really feels like the server is closing it. Might need to turn up the logging to see it which is not something I've ever tried for PPP. Let me see...

[diyhouse]

@stephenw10
Stephen,... In desperation,... I have just tried to setup an 'original BT Modem',.. and found the credentials I was using to access the broadband servers,.. were incorrect.!!
The credentials I have been using for maybe 6yrs+.... are old,..
Rang BT support,.. and they supplied a completely different set of credentials, which are ( as they say ) in line with my updated line,

Needless to say I am running with the new line config and credentials on pfsense,.. lets see how this pans out
upload/ download is now at 60/10,. which is in line with what I recall were the speeds when i 1st went pfsense FTTC....

So lets see how this pans out,... hopeful,.. but not holding my breath..

[diyhouse]

@diyhouse
Since use of new credentials..1hr 7mins . none of the following error: 65's...in Gateways logs... and PPP is also silent..
fingers crossed..

[stephenw10]

Hmm, well that would be interesting!

As far as I know BT don't care what the login is, they use the physical link to authenticate you. Maybe that varies. I use bthomehub@btbroadband.com/1234 and it works fine.

I guess we'll see.

[diyhouse]

@stephenw10
Yes indeed,. I transitioned to BT back in 2013,.. ( I've just discovered ),..
at this transition point they gave me an account:-

green-light@service.btclick.com/Passwd to play with,..

which I have used ever since.

today they have said I need to use something similiar to :-N025134@hg70.btclick.com/Passwd

But as you say we shall see...

[diyhouse]

@diyhouse Update:..
Although runnning 'smoother',.. I only seem to be able to get run times on the WAN of around 15hrs...
Looking in system=>general log.. filtered by layer down...I have the following... is my issue related to suricata, they seem to occur and each layer down,.. but appreciate could just be a consequence of the WAN failure...

That seems more likely to be a symptom rather than a cause. I assume you have Suricata running on LAN there and it's igb1? If it's running in in-line mode that will cause the re-link on igb1 when Suricata reloads. Suricata will be reloaded when the WAN reconnects. It still looks like the WAN disconnecting is the first thing that happens.

@stephenw10
Yes,.. that's what I wondered,. but was not sure,...
Thinking about connectivity,.. and stability,... A year or so ago,.. my system would run for months,.. even during power cuts,.. so 100+ day of run time was no issue,..
the WAN on the other hand would run for a week or so,.. maybe 3,.. then reboot,... which I took/assumed was BT enforcing their ( you cannot keep the same IP ),..
But now I wonder if this was a symptom,.. of the line performance degrading,... as it is now happening more and more,..
I was hoping that a 'weekly' WAN reboot would keep 'BT happy',.. and stop them forcing reboots an inopportune moments,.. during the day... but no.
The frequency of WAN reboots has over the last several months increased,.. and ( like things that change slowly ) you don't seem to notice the trend..
So looking at the big picture as they say,.. I think I need to contact BT support for some 'line performance help'... as things seem to point to line degradation,.. over the last 6+ months... or do you think i'm barking up the wrong tree....
pls feel free to disagree

Well I've never had that issue. BT only disconnects their end when there's a problem. So I wouldn't expect you to have to reconnect at all.

So, yes, it could be some upstream issue. It's odd though that it doesn't just time out. It would be nice to get some logs showing whatever triggers it. Somehow.

Ah OK edit the mpd custom conf file you created and uncomment the 'log' line there. If you change it to log +all you will see a lot of logging. Possibly too much!
But you should be able enable or disable the options there to get reasonable logging and see what's happening.

And by a lot I mean it logs every second:
