VLAN routing stops working by itself
-
Folks,
I posted about this a while back but it seemed like a ramble…
I have a VLAN (300) which simply has an any/any rule. From laptop plugged into the switch I can ping the vlan's gateway. Perfect. I can also ping 8.8.8.8. This stays working for a while.
I go to speedtest.net and do a speed test and all of a sudden it stops working.
The screen print below is my test laptop connected into the switch. Pinging quite happily and all of a sudden the lights when dim.
I have:
Netgear switch;
Port 5 (U, 300, laptop)
Port 6 (T, trunk to OPT6 (trunked) on pfsense)pfSense;
OPT6 2 VLANS, 300, 400
Rule in VLAN300 any/anyVLAN1 = 10.10.50.1/24
VLAN300 = 10.10.30.1/24As said, this all works so I don't think there is any issue with the config.
It just stops working by itself. VLAN1 continues to work without hassle.A reboot of pfSense is the only way to solve it (that I have found so far). Still trawling through the logs.
Hardware is a Gigabyte JI900 which, other than this issue, has never missed a beat in 3 years.Any help with finding out why this is happening?
thanks,

ok, so a resolution is to ssh into pfsense and down/up the nic which the vlans are running on.
As soon as I do that the ping to the GW starts working again.
Does this suggets the NIC is porked?

And the culprit is….. the NIC :(
I've disabled it and used a - gasp - USB3 one I had knocking around.
So far, so good. Get a shade over 200Mb/s throughput which is more than ample for my needs (IoT wifi)
