Restart/Redial PPPoE when it goes down.

[undistio]

I have my ISP modem set up for transparent bridging with OPNsense managing the PPPoE connection to my DSL.

Occasionally, this connection will stop passing traffic. Internet will stop working and gateway monitoring will show 100% packet loss, then eventually gateway down, and removing it from the active gateways list on the home page. OPNsense does not attempt to reset/reestablish this connection and I typically have to reboot the ISP modem to restore my internet connection.

Is there a way to configure OPNsense to attempt to reset this connection automatically when the gateway does down?

Hi undistio,

You tell that you have to reboot the ISP modem to restore the connection, and ask if there is an option to restore the connection in OPNsense.

In these cases, do you need to reset anything on the OPNsense-side after rebooting the ISP modem? Does the connection get restored in such a case when you reboot OPNsense instead of the ISP modem?

I am not aware of some kind of heartbeat/monitor/whatever function in OPNsense (which does not mean much with my knowledge of the platform...), but from your description it seems there is not any action on the OPNsense-side in restoring the connection so I'd say there is nothing to configure there either.
