Networkport sometimes down?

sebastian

Hi,

I use 2.0-RC3 and sometimes my lan port is not reachable (not pingable). But If I connected via ssh all work how it should (the hole time I connected [testet 3days]. After disconnect ssh, sometimes lan port does not reacte to ping again [2 or 3 time in a hour]. My other (DMZ) port is the hole time reachable.

Can somebody give me a tip if it is a error in config or a issue with pfsense?

thanks
Sebastian

Are you using different NIC from different vendors or different chipsets ?
perhaps you can change the one which makes problems with an other NIC for testing.

Further you could play a little bit with settings under

SYSTEM -> ADVANCED

sorry forget do wrote my hardware setup,

I've
http://www.applianceshop.eu/index.php/firewalls/opnsense/opnsense-rack-edition-pfsense-appliance.html

First I think it is a hardware defekt, but why would it repair by an ssh session?

I will try if change port for lan to another will help.

Any tip which option under SYSTEM->ADVANCED has biggest effort for it? I've allready check it with another box all the same. One run 24/7 the other has this small issue …

If the hardware of both boxes is the same and the one is working and the other not it could only be a hardware problem of the box itself or perhaps a problem of the switch(port) or another client in the network.

I do not think it would be helpful to change some setting because you said it works on another box without problems.

perhaps a port capture could help you to find something out.

thank,

you are right no hardware problem no pfsense bug (puh).

is a problem with my bridge - sometime the 'switch think' the pf is on the other side :( but the bridge know it better.
