20.1 Legacy Series / WAN interface fails to reconnect on modem reboot

« on: March 01, 2020, 08:05:07 pm »

OPNsense 20.1.1-amd64
FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p16-HBSD
OpenSSL 1.1.1d 10 Sep 2019

until a  month ago I was running an old 16.7 version of opnsense. installed a clean 20.1.1 version last month. my ISP  has constant issues where their throughput drops down to a few mb/s and I need to power cycle the modem to restore standard speeds. historically I would just reboot the modem and all was well.

on this version  it looks like the WAN interface didn't recover from the  modem powercycle. 

when I checked interfaces\overview and expanded WAN   it showed a up status  but DHCP was down.  I manually clicked reload and it came back online (NO IP change happened)

is there a setting to make it  keep checking for DHCP and or reload automatically once the link state is up?

obviously  the current  functionality is sub-optimal. as I can't really expect  my kids to do this if they reset the modem.

any help or point in the right right direction would be appreciated
thanks,

just a shot it the dark. if you use a real ssl cert instead of a self signed  the  public wouldn't have to install a cert. it would be trusted.

I know there are a few places you can get a free 1yr cert. (don't have a link offhand) its worth a shot. other option is godaddy there certs are cheap.

Thanks Fanco!,

It's installed. I'll schedule a reboot and see how we do.

I assume "em" is the driver and (0) is the port number? see below

bartjsmit ,

when I check the Gateway Status monitor = none  so I assume not.  this isn't enabled by default?

ok,  looked through the WAN config and cleared the check for "Disable Gateway Monitoring" added 8.8.8.8 as monitor IP.

checked status and everything is listed as pending.

thanks for the replies.

Franco,

can I check the driver from the Gui? or would I have to console in to do that? If I find out  it is the driver you mention what are my options?
thanks,

when  modem is rebooted, but not opnsense router I have  no internet. 

if I reboot opnsense router then WAN port comes up and internet is available again.

obviously this is a pain.  most router these days detect WAN interface state and come back online without having to be rebooted. is there a setting I can change to make  the WAN interface reset after it goes down?

also.  is there a way to prevent a service from starting automatically? specifically after rebooting the openVPN client service starts up. I use this on occasion and don't want it to start on reboot. how can I change this to "manual"
thanks in advance,
