      I have an SG-1100 that is randomly losing Internet. The ISP says that the link is flapping and that it is the SG-1100. Here are the logs:

      The connection will be stable for a while, and then this will happen again.

        Jul 12 15:25:36 kernel e6000sw0port3: link state changed to DOWN
        

        and a couple of seconds later :

        Jul 12 15:25:42 kernel e6000sw0port3: link state changed to UP
        

        The cable connection - probably physical or electrical, was lost.
        Involved are :
        The NICs on both sides (the data to electrical signal part). Swap interfaces so you can isolate the NIC that has problems.
        The cable (plugs, wirte) Swap the cable..

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          I swapped cables, swapped the firewall for a white box pfSense, swapped the firewall with a UniFi USG, placed a switch in between the firewall and the ISP, and the interface was still flapping. The ISP is a WISP. They supposedly swapped out the radio on top of the roof, but it was still flapping. I wanted them to replace the cable and the PoE injector, but they didn't. We ended up hard setting the speed/duplex to 100 FDX and the connection is better, but still not perfect. The customer is going to be changing ISPs.
