Pfsense crashing randomly
-
Hi all,
This is very unusual behaviour.I have pfsense 2.2.4 on an old hp Proliant G4 machine (xeon 3.ghz, 3 gb ram and raid 1 scsi).We have 3 intrfaces on this box, 10/100 on the mobo and another 2x10/100/1000 RLTEK.
Problem is … from time to time this box becomes unavailable...just not answering to ping or unable to connect to vpn.We also use NAT on to redirect to some websites...still not responding.
After a random period of time...it just works.There is nothing unusual in the logs...i suspect a hw issue. Do you have any ideas what can go wrong?thanks in advance

Hmmm, Realtek…

Have you checked the buffers on the NIC? When you say crash do you mean it stops responding only or powers down? I would guess if it just stops responding it is likely your NIC having some kind of failure. I had a similar problem with a failing Realtek card buffers would fill and the card stopped responding.

It just stop responding. And yes I belive is Realtek. I'll have a look to interface buffers and see.
Thanks -
