WAN interface stops working every few days.
-
I've been having issues where my WAN interface will crap out after a few days or so.
The behaviour is that I will have very high packet % as well as latency of 7600+MS
already established connections (such as splashtop Remote desktop) seem unphased but any new connections and general net traffic is doa.Rebooting pfsense or power cycling the CenturyLink provided ONT (optical network terminal) both resolve the issue for a day or so.
I've tried disabling and re-enabling the wan interface as well as unplugging and plugging the ethernet cable for WAN but those do not resolve the issue when it appears.What are some likely causes for this?
-
Try using Packet Capture, to see what's happening.
-
What would I want to focus on for the packet capture, WAN?
also, it seems like Unplugging the WAN cable for a minute or so and plugging it back in also resolves the high latency and drops.
-
I've found this in the gateway logs if it helps any. Also Guess I'll set a syslog server back up later today.

Well, you could start with what happens when you try disconnecting/reconnection the WAN cable or disabling/re-enabling the interface. I also see it's OK after waiting a minute before plugging the cable in. You could compare the differences with not waiting. That sort of thing. About 1.5 years ago, I had a problem with IPv6 on my ISP. By using Wireshark, when pfSense booted up, I was able to identify the failing equipment, by name, at my ISPs local office. After I got that resolved, I saved a normal DHCP & DHCPv6-PD sequence, so that I'd always have something to refer to, should a problem happen again. Since I was rebooting pfsense, I couldn't use Packet Capture, so I used a managed switch, configured as a data tap,with my notebook running Wireshark.

These issues began after I swapped my pfsense box from an optiplex 7010 to a Dell Poweredge R210 II. it was working without any issue prior.As of 2 days ago this behaviour is now occuring every 12 hours or so.
As of yesterday, I've already tried tweaking the system tunables per some suggestions for PPOE interfaces as well as BCE adapters.
I'm going to try buying an intel gigabit nic and see if it's an issue with the broadcom onboard adapter.
It also seems that manually setting my PPOE connection as offline, applying settings then going back and re-enabling it temporarily resolves the issue when it occurs whereas the monitoring service isn't managing to re-establish the connection.
-
What NICs were in the older box?
I assume this is a PPPoE connection from your logs, unless that's another gateway?
You could certainly try setting the gateway monitoring target to something different. Be sure it's actually the WAN and not just the target.
Carrier grade NAT should be all at the ISP if they are using that. I'm not sure which issue you're referring to @bcruze.

I'm not certain which was wan/LAN but I had two NICs, an onboard intel gigabit and a broadcom 5722.
I still have the 5722 floating around so I'm going to see if I can adapt a full length PCIE slot bracket onto it
I've already tried setting the gateway monitoring target to 8.8.8.8
https://techtilt.com/fix-for-pfsense-keeps-dropping-wan-intermittently-randomI also tried adjusting a number of settings in tunables.

net.isr.dispatch=deferred
kern.ipc.nmbclusters="131072"
hw.bce.tso_enable=0
hw.pci.enable_msix=0P.S. It doesn't look like syslogging is immediately available because i let my Splunk trial license lapse... I just applied the 500MB free license but it'll take a month or a reinstall before I can access the data again.
-
Installed the 5722 going to see how it handles the PPPOe... Diddnt have a correct full length bracket so I got creative to prevent it from getting knocked out of the slot and causing a short. https://imgur.com/gallery/dbfYaLi

Still occurring unfortunately, would I need to run a packet capture 24/7 until an issue occurs or would there be another route?
-
That may not tell you much anyway.
It's curious that rebooting the ONT corrects the issue but unplugging the cable does not. Those should be similar from pfSense's view. Obviously one resets the upstream connection too but if that were an issue then rebooting pfSense alone would not correct it.
A short pcap made whilst the connection is bad might show something. Bad packets etc.
It might need to be on the PPPoE parent interface though.

Three things have been observed to correct the issue so far.
Rebooting pfsense
Disconnecting the WAN if's ethernet cable for ~15 seconds then plugging it back in.
Power Cycling the ONTpacket loss and latency skyrockets during these events.
I'm going to do a packet capture as well as take a close look at the PPPOE traffic the next time this happens. I'm curious to see if my WAN IP changes as well as what disabling and re-enabling PPPOE does.This issue began approximately 1 week after I had replaced my optiplex 7010SFF PFsense instance for the R210 II.
There are two other things in the same timeframe which "may may potentially attribute but I'd be surprised if they were the issue"- Minor heat wave where temps were in the upper 90's for a few days.\
- Unmounted ONT to physically inspect what type of optical cable it uses, It may be remotely possible that I somehow pinched the cable when returning the ONT back into it's cradle? I'm not certain whether that would manifest with these symptoms though. aside from the every 12-36 hour events pings, latency and packet loss are on par for gigabit.
-
I changed out the Broadcom NIC for an Intel one and I really, really hope this issues goes away with it.
I did a packet capture on the WAN interface and see a lot of ttl timeouts, TCP resets or unacknowledged acks. Existing socket connections continue to work without issue but any new connection attempts have an extremely high latency and packet loss. I'm not comfortable sharing this packet capture though because it could potentially contain some authentication info which could be reverse engineered..
I'll paste a snippet of it below.
I'm going to see if my ISP will send me a replacement ONT so that I can cover my bases there.

Hmm, that sure starts to looks like an upstream routing issue.
What is sending that ICMP TTL exceeded response? What was the target?

@stephenw10 target was the google DNS server, 8.8.8.8
So far this week, the issue has manifested like clockwork almost every day between 10:50 and 11:15 AM. with one occasion where it also reoccurred near noon as well.
I've contacted my ISP and they beleive they saw some up line issues and have a tech coming out next week...
I'm getting very tiered of this issue very fast.
-
ISP replaced the ONT and I had been problem free until today when the behaviour appeared again..
I tried to do a tracert and every hop diddnt response and the last 8.8.8.8 had a response time of 1248ms
I was able to restore my connection by going to status>interfaces and then disconnecting and recconecting the WAN PPOE.
Could use some guidance on troubleshooting PPOE issues as well as reccomendations on a scripted workaround to automatically restart it if non responsive after a period of time.

You never said what in the route is sending TTL exceeded replies annd what the acrual message is. That's usually a sign there's a routing loop.
It looks like 81.17.242.98 and sending the replies back to 71.36.120.123 which I assume was your WAN IP at that time. What is 81.17.242.98 though? Something at your ISP?You can configure a PPPoE connection to reset at, say, 6am everyday. That will likely prevent this if it doesn't fail more often than that. Though it should not be required.

@stephenw10 said in WAN interface stops working every few days.:

I'll have to grab that info the next time this behavior occurs, which specific info would I want to grab in this case?
Not sure on that specific AP, it was likely picking up traffic from some random device on my network.
Here's my config related to my PPOE wan if that helps any.

Nothing unusual there.
You can set a periodic reset as I said. You might try that to see if it does prevent the issue happening during the day.
