      I just experienced an issue like this one - https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/1811.
      My post including logs - https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/1811#note-4.

      at 5:50pm today it appears my ISP made some changes that triggered a disconnect at 2 of my sites.
      Both are TPG NBN Fibre PPPOE connections.

      Running: 2.3-RELEASE (amd64)  built on Mon Apr 11 18:10:34 CDT 2016 FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE under VMware ESXI 5.5 & 6.0.

      Both ppp connections failed to reconnect automatically, getting stuck on "ppp [wan_link0] LCP: state change Closed –> Initial"
      Clicking Connect on the interface page successfully established the connection. Remote site was reset but I'm sure it would have behaved like the local site if I was able to access it.

      I believe I have experienced this issue previously but was some time ago.
      Connections normally reconnect fine after a remote disconnect.

      As noted in the Issue post the logs indicate a change of concentrator.

      Any thoughts or possible solutions to prevent this happening again.

      regards,
      Andrew

        I've got the same problem, resetting the modem did nothing so it seems the router actually is stuck, i clicked on the Save button on the PPOE settings page and i guess it initiated a new connection. I've had this problem about 3 times in the last 3 months, this is the first time i've bothered to look.
