Routing quits working after period of time
-
I have a pfSense box up in a Hyper-v environment. There is a WAN configured and 3 LANs. I am running into a strange issue. When the pfSense machine boots up, none of the devices in any of the LANs can access the pfSense box. However, once I ping a device in the LAN from the pfSense box, then the devices are then able to ping the pfSense interfaces and also access the internet. After a period of time (about 5 minutes), the same issue comes up and I have to ping from the pfSense box. I need to do this for each LAN interface.
Has anyone ever run into something like this before?
Thanks.
Mike

One of the known quirks with Hyper-V and FreeBSD that's only been recently resolved with the release of the integration components. We'll be integrating those soon, which will fix that issue. Hacking in an "ifconfig de0 up" after boot time seems to work around it for some people.

Thanks for the reply!
Where can I look to figure out how to put in a "ifconfig de0 up" statement? I am pretty new to FreeBSD.
