Netgate loosing access to WAN
-
colored textHey All,
Recently bought the Netgate 2100 and I've been facing WAN disconnection from the ISP router. The ISP router is plugged into the WAN port of Netgate with static IP on the ISP router and DHCP on pfsense. Checking the logs on Netgate I can see the following messages and several more related to 'mvnet0'. What is happening ? Do i need allow DHCP traffic from the WAN port to the LAN interface ?

These two lines from your log file indicate a physical link layer issue:
Mar 20 15:25:34 php-fpm 62886 /rc.linkup: DEVD Ethernet attached event for wan Mar 20 15:25:34 php-fpm 62886 /rc.linkup: [Hotplug event detected for WAN(wan) dynamic IP address (4: dhcp, 6: dhcp6)]I would try a different Ethernet cable and also closely inspect the RJ45 jacks for any possible bent pin or corrosion present. Those messages are the same as what you would get if physically unplugged and then plugged the Ethernet cable.

@bmeeks I will try and replace the cable monitor it. Thank you for the reply.
