PPPoE reconenction fix - mpd fix ($100)
-
well then i see this
![CropperCapture[1].jpg](/public/_imported_attachments_/1/CropperCapture%5B1%5D.jpg)
-
anyways i tried vr1 and rebooted and checked, it fixes the issue partially, meaning, if my isp fiber optic device is switched off and on then pfsense would connect fine once the device is booted which means one issue solved, but there is a reset switch on that isp device and suppose if i press that then once its booted, pfsense wont connect and fall into endless reconnection loop and one easier way to solve this is to pull the wan wire which connects isp device to pfsense and then pfsense reconnects instead of rebooting pfsense
-
yes there was vr1 on it.
this means when power is on on the isp device port coz its reset then the solution doesnt work but if its switched off and on or cable unplugged then the port looses power and then once reconnected pppoe reconnects fine.
the reason y i try to do the reset scenario coz in a few instances, the isp device gets a firware update and then it reboots, this leaves the power on and then pfsense wont reconnect

You can also not to push reset switch on your magic ISP device :) Just power off and on to reset it 8)
Can you show the System and PPP log, when you have pressed the reset switch and pfsense won't reconnect?
-
like i said, i dont need to reset it, but due to a firmware update from isp or even a remotely trigerred reboot from isp causes this, the log is same as here

I hope that you have restored your original pppoe-linkdown file after playing with
/usr/sbin/ngctl shutdown $1:
and
/usr/local/sbin/pfSctl -c 'interface reload $iface'
that was suggested in november 2011 -
And I can't see system log anywhere, PPP only
-
yes the linkdown file is the standard one without any edits coz those edits didnt help, ill get u the system log now, frankly speaking i have already posted logs so many times that i got tired of doing the same again and again when some1 tries to help
-
here r system log and ppp log when isp device reset

I can't see any other software fix, instead on initiating reboot. This looks like more complex problem then driver or mpd only. So we need to write the if function to the ppp-linkdown, that checks for running shutdown process, and if it does not exists, starts one like 'shutdown -r +10', that means if script is running for the first time it always wants to restart pfsense after 10 minutes. And we need to add one line only to the ppp-linkup that looks like
'pkill shutdown'.I don't have knowledge to write the if function correctly, so I just added to the end of ppp-linkdown
shutdown -r +1and
pkill shutdown
to the ppp-linkup file.
Every reconnect starts own shutdown process but you don't have them much in one minute (yes +1 is a minute) before first of them restarts the pfsense. And if the PPPoE is coming up in less then 1 minute then shutdown process will be killed.
It would be good if somebody helps to write if function described above. -
My friend suggested me to modify his old SQL check script, so it would be

I've found that it is impossible to kill the shutdown process if using +10 (10 minutes).
When tested I've used less then 5 minutes delay.[2.1-DEVELOPMENT][root@pfhacom.xxxnetxxx]/root(326): *** System shutdown message from root@pfhacom.xxxnetxxx *** System going down in 10 minutes [2.1-DEVELOPMENT][root@pfhacom.xxxnetxxx]/root(327): ps auxww | grep shutdown | grep -v grep root 2293 0.0 0.1 3316 1124 ??

i havent tried this as yet, will do so soon

After suffering from very similar logs and lots of googling I found a cure (well a cause) for me anyway.
If the router came up after pfSense (if it was powered off then on again), pfSense would not connect to it no matter what unless you power cycled it again or yanked the cable. What I found was happening was when the link first came up pfSense would grab the ip address from the router using DHCP and start sending its pppoe requests to it (producing the same logs about connecting posted earlier), it would never log in. Pulling the cable, waiting a bit then plugging it back in would then log in straight away.
What was happening was the first ip address it obtained from the router was a local 'admin' address (in my case 192.168.2.10), the router would then connect to whatever destination and sync, it would then change it's ip address to the correct WAN IP (In my case 217.155..), but as the link status stayed as 'up' pfSense would not grab the new ip address and keep sending it's pppoe junk to the original 192.168.2.10 address. No amount of ifconfig up/down would shift it.
The solution to my problem was just to disable the DHCP server in the router as it isn't required anyway (admin access can be got using a static ip). Now I can power on/off router or pull/reconnect cable and pfSense picks up the status and the correct ip address straight away with no rebooting or anything.
I hope this is of use to someone as googling this issue picks this post as the top one.

I'd just like to say that I have no problem with reconnection on the latest 2.1 versions based on freebsd 8.3 and new MPD version
-
i also got sick and tired of this issue but currently im using w0w's hack but the strange thing is after i implemented it, the rotuer is supposed to restart in a specific time if pppoe reconnection fails and i have set this to 3 mins so almost about 2:50 mins pppoe doesnt reconnect and when its about to reboot, it just reconencts magically.
i tried removing that hack but then it would reconnect in hours also.i hope some of the developers read this and posted some code change such that u can use DHCP as well as pppoe reconnects also if dhcp was the main issue

looks like
"ifconfig em0 down
ifconfig em0 up"
works but delayed.Actually I've written another one startup script

Next I've downloaded config and edited:

All those mods are needed only for the 2.0x branch, I think, this script was made for those situations, when PC is rebooted but no PPPoE link established for some reason or mpd runned into "stuck" mode or somethin else…
Even having this script enabled, I've got situation when getaway ping was OK but pinging any internet server
was failed (ISP problem, actually)So may be it's better to ping some www.google.com instead of pinging ISP getaway
something like that:
delete
IP=/usr/bin/netstat -rn | /usr/bin/grep 'default' | /usr/bin/awk '{ print $2}'
/sbin/ping -c 2 $IP > /dev/null
and
write only
/sbin/ping -c 2 www.google.com > /dev/nullBut if it is ISP problem, then reboot does not help, so I've preffered to ping ISP getaway

Have you tried new 2.1 builds already? My reconnection bug is gone completely.
[2.1-BETA0][root@pfhacom.xxxnetxxx]/root(1): mpd5 -v
Version 5.6 (root@base-8_3-i386.builders.pfsense.org 21:22 6-Aug-2012)
works great for me.
I am not sure about other things as it is BETA0 :)
At least you can try, don't forget to backup your config or do full backup.
Before update don't forget to select the update source in "System: Firmware: Updater Settings"
http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_8_3/i386/pfSense_HEAD/.updaters
and check also
"Allow auto-update firmware images with a missing or invalid digital signature to be used." and
"After updating, sync with the following repository/branch before reboot." (branch: master and repository url: git://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense.git )Good luck :)

thanks w0w, actually the first script works which u gave earlier so ill stick to that for now, i was planning to move to 2.1 but problem is its too early for that as it seems there r still many bugs in the core system functionality so ill wait a bit its its more stable
things i need to work properly r
upnp
dhcp
static arp
traffic shaper
limiter
pppoe
openvpn client
accesspoint
aliases
NAT
firewall rules -
I hope stable release coming mid-October.
Currently
upnp - OK for me
dhcp - OK on LAN
static arp - OK
traffic shaper - fixed some time ago, OK
limiter - may be :)
pppoe - OK
openvpn client - don't know
accesspoint - don't know
aliases - OK
NAT - OK (IPV4)
firewall rules - OK -
