Power outage, results in IP address errors

[marceloengecom]

Hello,

I Have the latest version of OPNsense (24.7).

I had a power outage and when power was reapplied, my opnsense box came back up, but my WAN NICs (Intel dual Intel Pro/1000 82576) are not recognize. Then I tick the "Prevent Interface Removal" on all used interfaces option and all NICs are recogized, but after the automatic return of the energy fault, my WANs interfaces are not  load your respective configuration.

This issue only accour on power outage. If I restart or shutdown with GUI opnsense, works fine.


My NICs are:

- Realtek PCie GbE Family - onboard (Re0) -> Not in use
- Realtek PCie GbE Family - single network card (Re1) -> LAN
- Intel dual Intel Pro/1000 82576 (igb0, igb1) -> WAN1 (DHCP), WAN2 (PPoe)


I appreciate anyone who can help!

I was having some similar issues with my quad port Pro 1000 card, is it possible to upgrade to a quad port i350 card? Not sure how available some of this stuff is in your country, but I've been pretty lucky with ebay stuff usually shipped from China. Just look at the pictures really well to make sure you don't get a counterfeit card, there are apparently a lot of fakes out there. I got lucky with mine and they were both cheap too.

Intel i225/226 cards can sometimes be found cheap too.

If you have to buy new, so far the 10GTek i350 card that I bought has been working fine, speeds and support seem to be the same as the real Intel branded i350 that I bought used for my personal lab. The 10GTek was for the work production machine and has been good for the last about 4 months that it has been in service.

Hello,

Thanks for help.

Yes, my Intel dual Intel Pro/1000 82576 have in a issue a one port and I will swap.

The i350 card is only accessible in my country in 1 GB, but I can buy Intel X540-t2 10GB. This network card can be works fine in last verison of opnSense?

Best regards,

Do you need 10gbps? If so the x540 should be OK if you have enough processor to handle the data. From what I remember, the x540 can only run at 1gbps or 10gbps, I don't have any 2.5 or 5 gbps connections to try it

Thanks Greg,

No, I don't need 10gbps today. This network card is to my 2 WANs (200mbps and 600mbps), but if my ISP provide more  throughput, I want be a bit prepared to new increase. The network cards price (1gbps and 10gbps) are very simillar.

Best regards,
