Can't ping router attached on OPT1

cmb

Does a snapshot from:
http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD6/RELENG_1_2/

exhibit the same behavior? I have a very similar setup and haven't seen what you describe.

cmb

and you do have a gateway configured on the OPT1 interface, right?

Today I'll try to update to the last snapshot but the behavior was exactly the same with 1.0.1. In fact I've upgraded it to 1.2 beta hoping this behavior would disappear.
On OPT1 the gateway is the the second adsl router.
Wan1 : 192.168.70.2 , gateway 192.168.70.1
Opt1: 192.168.71.2 , gateway 192.168.71.1

1.0.1 has a ton of multi WAN bugs that are fixed in 1.2 snapshots. Specifically there was one that would screw up exactly what you're trying to do. Though I think most were fixed prior to 1.2b1.

Since the interface does have a gateway, you should be fine.

I've just upgraded to the last snapshot (4 June) but no changes…..
Reinstalling all from scratch could help?
Which log/tecnique/config file could be a good start to understand what is going on?

Last thing, I don't know if could be related to my problems: in system log I receive a

Jun 6 15:19:50 php: /diag_logs_filter.php: [DEBUG] Lock recursion detected.
…
Jun 6 15:16:36 php: : XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1

the first lines are

<pfsense><version>2.9</version>
<lastchange><theme>pfsense</theme>
<system><optimization>normal</optimization>
<hostname>pfsense</hostname>

It's ok to have all those <xy>tags instead of ?
I've a lot of them, everywhere in config file

thank you</xy></system></lastchange></pfsense>

Could you post the complete output from status.php? You can pm or email to cbuechler@gmail.com if you'd rather not publicly post all that.

The <blah>are the same as <blah></blah>, normal, means nothing is defined.</blah>

Ok, done. Thank you for your attention.
I just hope all this is not caused by something really stupid I've done…. :D
But, except for this problem, all is running smoothly

Thank you again

I had same error pop-up in my system log today after a reboot (the 6-4 snapshot). I was wondering if anyone had tracked this down. I do not have an opt1 interface, though before the reboot I had sh keep dumping with a signal 8.

I have a similar problem, but I can't ping either of the routers beyond pfSense. I think I need to re-check my rules though…

I've finally implemented load balancing and failover as in the how-to and… ta-dah! suddenly I can ping and connect to http configuration interface of both router and not only the router attached on WAN if.... ???
