Reboot pfsense on WAN disconnect

arad85

Hi,

I am running 2.1-BETA1 18/March 2013 (yes, I know… it is old). I do not want to upgrade until December when I can have some downtime in case I have issues.

Occasionally, my WAN connection fails and then reconnects some time later. All goes well, apart from my Asterisk server fails to renew any registrations I have with external suppliers. A reboot of the pfSense box cures this (I suspect there is some state left in the routing tables somewhere).

Is there any easy way to trigger a reboot on loss of connection (yes, I know this is a workaround and doesn't actually fix the problem)? I'm manually looking daily and rebooting at the moment....

Thanks

Hey!

What about this…

System--> Advanced--> Miscellaneous: and look at the Gateway Monitoring section.
There you have an option to kill all states if GW goes down.

Option is: State Killing on Gateway Failure
If box NOT checked, states will be killed if GW goes down.

This should fix it for you.

Regards,
M

Good suggestion… :D but the box is already cleared :(

I think I`ve read a similar thread somwhere in this forums…

Is it possible this is a bug that states are not completley wiped?

Thanks.

I'll have a search (and see if I can find a window to move to 2.1 release).

Anyone who has any pointers - gratefully received :)

Any ideas how to achieve this?
