Multiple issues, firewall freezes and whole network goes down.

So ~12hrs later? And it was still logging connection attempts?
I have no idea what could cause it to be unresponsive at the console but continue logging like that.
-
@stephenw10 it might be a weird ipmi gimmick. I need to confirm the actual display by connecting it directly to a monitor if and when this happens again (hopefully not). I have not yet updated to the latest. There is a chance this issue might get fixed totally. I dont want to update remotely so this has to wait.
Other than that, any idea why when WAN is interrupted, the whole network goes down as well? (Sometimes not every time)
-
Hmm, could the IPMI module be crashing? Does it have a shared port with the WAN?
-
@stephenw10 no it is a separate interface.
-
Maybe check any logs the IPMI module has anyway.
-
@stephenw10 I don't mind the IPMI console not being functional when this occurs at the moment.
The real problem is why my whole network goes down when the WAN is interrupted until a hard reset. Assigning a static ip to "Modem" interface as you have suggested previously, has drastically reduced the frequency of this issue but the real reason still remains a mystery. I will try your other suggestion of changing the "modem" interface from igb to ixl but this will also as to wait until I go back.Do you think LAGG might be the reason? I know that it has no relation with WAN but I am grasping straws right now.
-
Unlikely to be related to LAGG IMO. Many people run LAGG without issue.
Are you able to check the physical local console?
If it stop responding at the console it's not that surprising to me that it also stops passing traffic. It's more surprising that it appears to keep running and logging.

Not right now. Only when I get back.

I honestly cannot tell. Maybe if I can physically connect, it will respond but due to IPMI video console, it somehow has a gimmick where it cannot register the user inputs through IPMI console web interface.
