WAN out errors since 2.8 upgrade
-
Hmm, nothing obvuiously wrong there. I assume igc0 is the WAN?
-
@stephenw10 Yes igc0 is the WAN. Speedtests and latency are fine - I haven't observed any actual issues with the network which is why I was wondering whether these WAN out errors are actually real?
-
Hmm, curious. I'd expect to see some errors in the stats there. Is it linked at 1G?
-
@stephenw10 Yes linked at 1G on both WAN and LAN.
-
Ah, wait is this still PPPoE? BT have yet to deem my area fit for fiber.
In which case the errors could be on pppoe0. Are you using the new if_pppoe in 2.8?
-
@stephenw10 Yes it is PPPoE and I am using the new if_pppoe code.
-
Ah, interesting.
Try looking at
netstat -i
, check if the errors are shown there. And if that are only on pppoe0 and not igc0.Do you still see errors if you switch back to the old pppoe driver?

@stephenw10 Yes errors are only showing on pppoe0 - there are none on igc0. I haven't tried switching off if_pppoe unless it is actually causing a problem? Do you think it is just mis-reporting the errors?

It could be. Though I'm using here (stuck on FTTC) without any errors:

Do you see any errors on warning in the system logs?
The debug output from if_pppoe is unlikely to be helpful here. It will fill the logs! But you can enable it with
ifconfig pppoe0 debug
and disable it withifconfig pppoe0 -debug
. -
@stephenw10 I tried enabling the debug - there were just lots of lines with pppoe - no errors that I could see. I will try reverting if_pppoe later today and see if that makes any difference.
-
@stephenw10 So I have switched back to the old PPPoE code and it works fine - no errors at all - I have run a number of speedtests and the error count is still zero so it looks like there is an issue with the new if_pppoe code.

@stephenw10 This bug seems to already be reported here: redmine though I don't see any follow up?
-
Yup I see it. I'll reach out to the dev and let him know. Though I think he's at BSDCan next week,
