pfSense router won't link after power off
-
@stephenw10 did you see anything interesting ?
-
Looks like you have additional packages. Snort maybe?
What’s with those arp log entries?

@bbrendon
what type of logs would you like to see ?how snort can prevent successful re-initializing interfaces linking after power off?
-
Which interfaces are which there? igb0-2 show as active with a 1Gbps link using auto-select. Only igb3 is down there.
The system logs are hard to read with all that Snort messaging but they too show igb0 (which looks like WAN) coming up:
Nov 29 08:47:48 kernel igb0: link state changed to UPWhat does the lack of a green LED signify on that box?
Where are you actually seeing the interfaces as not linked?

"WAN and LAN Ethernet connections on the router had only yellow lights and no green."
-
Yes I read that but what do those LEDs mean on that box?
The link appears to be UP so maybe green is just data?
Is the lack of green LED the only place you see the link as down?

@stephenw10
The way I observed it , when only yellow lights are on and green is not, WAN was not linked (if this is right term), was not assigning IPs and was not assignable via ssh.And I saw that after 2 soft and hard reboots.
-
Presumably the yellow LED comes on when you connect the cable? That is more likely to be LINK. The green LED may indicate 1Gbps. Or it may flash for data. Or both.
Run
ifconfigat the console when it is in that state. I assumed that's what you posted above but if that's the case it is linked fine.Steve

That's not easy. I have to connect display in order to do so, but then I can't connect to 1GB cable.
(wish it had IPMI)
-
Well we need to see what it's actually failing to do. The output you posted above looks like there is no problem.
