I just had a strange outage. DHCP devices suddenly couldn't renew their leases, static assigned devices couldn't reach the Internet. LAN/WAN interfaces on the firewall were link up. The firewall itself could ping WAN addresses. Reloading services from the console didn't help, only a full reboot did. Didn't change anything about the network or firewall today. Running 24.7.11_2.
I've reviewed the logs from the UI, even poked around at logs in /var/logs. Is there anywhere else I can look to determine what happened? (I know the exact time my devices suddenly went down.)
/var/logs is the right place. Unfortunately to my knowledge freeBSD's dmesg doesn't have the ability like linux to include the timestamps. Those are helpful when diagnosing.
Perhaps you are also using a service that is not part of the OS, maybe also has logs?
What type of system? Some NICs are known to have problems when ASPM is enabled.

Been running well for close to a year. However, I did recently update to 24.7 (can't recall from what but it was a major update for sure).

It's been running well for close to a year. No custom services that I'm aware of.
