Seems disabling the DynDNS client fixed it.

Since then no issues.

Before I switch the NIC I wanted to share this from the logs:

It looks like the legacy DynDNS script is causing an issue here, no?

This is the next step then.

I thought the S930 is a popular device for OPNsense/pfSense and should work quite well.

Thanks for the hint.

Replacing the cable did not help.

The re0 interface is there but IP is 0.0.0.0

Can I reset the interface without a reboot?
Any idea what I could check?

I found now these logs after it happened twice today:

2023-03-06T12:57:28 Critical dhclient exiting.
2023-03-06T12:57:28 Error dhclient connection closed

2023-03-06T08:24:57 Notice flowd_aggregate.py vacuum interface_086400.sqlite

So the WAN just detaches.
Nothing helps but a reboot.

First attempt to fix it: replace the WAN cable

Hi,
My OPNsense box loses its gateway randomly (can work for weeks, then suddenly lost).

System -> Gateways -> Single is empty in these cases, also the Dashboard shows an empty table for "Gateways".
In the logs I couldnt find anything special.

My box is connected to a cable modem, using the re driver.

It is the only gateway configured, no special settings have been changed.

• Upstream Gateway: checked
• Monitor IP: 1.1.1.3

The box is a Fujitsu Futro S930.

Do you have hints what I could check? In the logs I couldnt find anything specific.

I thought that it might be the cable to the modem, even it worked for years.
I didnt have this issue with my APU unit. Not sure if it's related to the hardware.

Thanks for hints.

Exactly your model from Dell.

Dell Broadcom 5719

So far no issues but no heavy testing yet. But boots and didnt reboot/hang after iperf tests.

Sadly no. I just found several people reporting about the same issue.

I replaced the NIC with a Broadcom card which is working fine.

Yes, I did all that, also configured the firewall for all VLANs, assigned Unbound to all local interfaces etc.
I will try with 2 cables, but thought LACP would automatically handle port failures.

Maybe I can collect some screenshots if I cant get it to work.

Ok, I tried that but it wont work. I created the lagg, assigned the VLANs and set up the aggregate on the switch (4 ports).
Afterwards only plugged in one cable but no IP was offered via DHCP.

Ok, I will do some more analysis.

Sorry, maybe a stupid question:
If I have a LAGG interface of 2 ports with 4 VLANs, I need to create 4 bridges?

Thank you for the explanation, that helps a lot.
I never used a LAGG and never thought about/understood the bridge concept.

You explained it very well!

@Tuxtom007: So you didnt set up a bridge?

I plan a similar same setup like yours.

Ok, thanks, so the bridge is required because of multiple VLANs, right? Not because of the Lagg, right?

Hi,
I am trying to set up my new network.

I have a Fujitsu S930 with a 4-port Broadlink NIC. 3 Ports are configured as a LAGG device with 5 different VLANs assigned.
In the Unifi switch I set up the first 4 ports as "Aggregate" but I wont be assigned an IP address.

So before getting into details, does anybody have a similar setup working with OPNsense and are there general things to check (like VLAN filtering being disabled etc)?

Thanks for hints.
