What would cause a high latency ping to my local pfsense gateway?
-
Netgate XG-7100
v2.4.4-RELEASE-p3 (amd64)
Unifi APs/switchesI've been running a ping test on loop. I'm pinging a few IPs. One of them is simply the gateway IP of the pfsense network I'm on.
I'm on a laptop, connected to a Unifi AP, which traverses 3 Unifi switches over fiber, into the Netgate.
The pfsense network I'm on (via wifi/VLAn connectivity) is 10.102.20.2/23
So I'm pinging 10.102.20.2 and every once in a while, maybe every 50 pings about every 5 seconds, it goes from an average of 4ms to ≈ 100 ms.I've closed pretty much everything on my computer and just have the ping application running.
Any ideas what might be causing this? -
Try a wired connection, its the same?
If not its your WiFi. -
You see anything logged in pfSense?
Spikes in the CPU monitoring graphs?
Something jumping to the top of the table in
top -aSH?You should upgrade unless you have a really good reason to be on that relatively ancient version.

Resources appear to be fine not seeing process spikes or spikes on any graphs.
I am trying to tell it to update but seeing "Please wait while the update system initializes" status here for about 10 mins -

I did update to next deprecated build so will try next update after that.
However in the meantime I do appear to have much lower latency wired into the switch.However I ran a ping test to my local pfsense network gateway, and out of about 330 pings, there were 5 failed consecutive pings.
Any idea what could be causing a failed ping to a local gateway? I'm literally traversing 2 switches

If there's nothing in the logs then I'd run a packet capture to see if those ping are making it to pfSense at all and if it's responding.
No response to 5 pings it something significant though. An IP conflict maybe? Something ARPing with the same address could do that.Steve
