Title: automatic reconnect
Post by: Hollister on April 02, 2020, 04:35:46 PM
My OPNsense FW is right behind a UPC cable modem.

There were several issues with UPC in our region in the last month and the UPC modem is rebooting twice a week
After that, OPNsense with not automatically reconnect the WAN interface.

Is there a auto retry for x hours feature? For now I reboot the FW and everything works fine thereafter.
Or is there maybe a setting I have not set yet?

Is the WAN on DHCP?

In the Interfaces -> Overview it should be enough to reconnect the WAN interface to get a fresh IP. I found no other way to make the sense reconnect...

Yes.
Interfaces -> Wan -> IPv4 is set to DHCP


So there is no other automated way if there is no IP on the WAN interface to retry for a certain amount of time?
