PfSense dropping wan ip
-
I conducted an upgrade to 2.6.0 yesterday and now my instance of pfSense keeps dropping the wan address.
The upgrade was run from the GUI.
Thanks!

All,
Succeeding some further investigation the issue at hand seems to be due and related to the Gateway Monitoring Deamon requiring some modest adjustment in configuration parameters. I cannot say with categorical certainty it was due to the upgrade from 2.5.2 to 2.6, but surely did become evident in succession the upgrade. That said, some additional configuration changes were made to the router configuration thereafter as well, so perhaps something changed unintentionally.
One thing to note: If you have your WAN and LAN ports both running over one Ethernet port using VLANs (as I do), then it is important to assure that a drop of the WAN IP address does not cause the port to get shutdown as this could make it very difficult to access. That said, nothing prevents access to the router from the console.
Thus, the issue can now be declared resolved.
