      thanks steve made that change but now it has been resolved. let's see what will happen

      #update reboot happened
      the console didn't remain at the db prompt.
      I suppose it is something different

          Yes it's big! The interesting part is right at the beginning of the report. For example:

          debug.kdb.panic:panic: kdb_sysctl_panic
          cpuid = 3
          time = 1691688092
          KDB: enter: panic

          That was a crash I triggered manually. Yours will probably be similar to that shown in the bug report linked above.
          Unfortunately those pictures are all from after that part.

              Are you not able to scroll back far enough to see the initial backtrace?

              pfSense doesn't use the standard log conf file it uses: /var/etc/syslog.d/pfSense.conf
              So you'd have to try that there instead. I have never tried that.

                @stephenw10 the first picture was the highest i could go....
                So it is not possible.
                I will try the log

                  Hmm, still odd that it doesn't save the panic as a crash report by default. The only reasons that wouldn't happen I can think of are if there's no SWAP configured (there is) or if the drive is failing and it's inaccessible at that point.

                      Did you manage to log anything?

                      If you are hitting that IPv6 issue though you could test that by simply disabling IPv6. If it still reboots when PPPoE resets that you're not hitting that bug.

                          Hi,
                          I faced a similar issue without understanding the root cause.
                          If i remember well, I disabled the gateway monitoring.
                          dpinger (Gateway Monitoring Daemon) was probably my problem but I don't know why.
                          Do you monitor your gateway ? If yes, you can try to disable it.
                          Regards.
                          Yann.

                            Potentially that might avoid it if the only thing using IPv6 is the gateway monitoring at that time. it would be an interesting test.

                              @YannTKO i enabled again ipv6, disable monitor gateway of ipv6 and again reboot.. so dpinger is not the issue

                                @stephenw10 disabling ipv6 again reboot. i think it is something with periodic reset

                                  Previously you say it was rebooting when you manually restarted the WAN. Is that still the case with IPv6 disabled?

                                      I triggered it again with different procedure.
                                      I simply disconnected wan interface with ipv6 enabled.... system reboots.

                                        @AlexanderK said in Wan periodic reset causes system reboot.:

                                        I triggered it again with different procedure.
                                        I simply disconnected wan interface with ipv6 enabled.... system reboots.

                                        Can you do each procedure with and without IPv6 as it is a bit scatter-gun at the moment?

                                        It will help the diagnostics as there is potentially more than 1 issue at play.

                                          @RobbieTT without ipv6 everything works perfect.
                                          With ipv6 enabled i have the reboots

                                            Ok, sounds like one of the issues I have and it has been recognised by Netgate too, with an associated redmine entry.

                                            @stephenw10
                                            Steve, another one for you I guess. The absence of suitable logs is a bit puzzling though. I'm not sure if you guys have made any progress resolving this IPv6 related event though?

                                            ☕️
