Interfaces going down and up with packet loss

kalip

Hello.
I have a problem with my pfS installation.
I got 3 NIC's assigned and the problem is that the WAN NIC is getting packet loss and probably apinger is restarting both WAN and LAN NIC's.
I really dont know where to start because it worked for 24h after installation, then i had to to make some cable management and after reboot the problem started.
Wan connects to the ISP cable modem(bridged). It works fine when i plug it directly into PC so i think the modem hardware is good.
I tried to disable gateway monitoring and apinger. Nothing helps.

There's a log below. Look at the timestamp. It goes down about 20s after it gets up. And it loops forever.

What happens if you reboot the box?

kalip

After reboot everything works for about 20 second and gateway status shows about 40% packet loss on wan interface. And after that the restarts happens.

The funny thing is i have second wan connected to dsl router and this one works fine all the time. Only the first wan causes problem. When I disconnect the cable of wan1(tried different ones) everything works fine.

heper

could be faulty wiring. check the cabling.

kalip

Done that already with 3 different patchcables. Didn't help.
