Hello fellow forum members!

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out today as I am experiencing some challenges with my OPNsense installation and was wondering if anyone else has encountered similar issues or might have some advice on how to resolve them.

- Intel I350 network card (igb0-3)
- Intel X550-T2 network card (ix0-1)
- Multiple VLAN interfaces

Issues I'm Experiencing:

1. Network Interface Instability:
   I am experiencing intermittent internet connectivity drops. When checking my system logs, I noticed patterns of interfaces going down and back up repeatedly:

   igb3: link state changed to DOWN
   ix1: link state changed to DOWN
   vlan069: link state changed to DOWN
   vlan070: link state changed to DOWN
   vlan020: link state changed to DOWN
   vlan010: link state changed to DOWN.
   [Shortly after]

   igb3: link state changed to UP
   ix1: link state changed to UP
   vlan069: link state changed to UP
   vlan070: link state changed to UP
   vlan020: link state changed to UP
   vlan010: link state changed to UP.
   This happens multiple times. I also see ARP table changes, which might be related.

2. PHP MongoDB Extension Errors:
   My logs are being flooded with these errors:

Questions:
- What could be causing the network interfaces to repeatedly go up and down? Is this a hardware issue, driver problem, or configuration issue?
- Has anyone else experienced network instability with Intel I350 or X550-T2 cards on OPNsense 25.1.1?
- How can I troubleshoot which plugin or component is trying to load the MongoDB extension? I'm not aware of using any feature that requires MongoDB.
- Is there a recommended way to either properly install the mongodb extension or prevent these PHP warning messages?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

- How can I troubleshoot which plugin or component is trying to load the MongoDB extension? I'm not aware of using any feature that requires MongoDB.
Could it be possible you have Zenarmor with mongodb?
I _think_ even if your Zenarmor db is not mongodb, it might be what is trying to use that library.
Is your Zenarmor functioning correctly? Have a look around there please.

What is the output of this command ?

As always the forum recommends:

# pkg remove php82-pecl-mongodb

Both dropping at the same time suggests a system issue, unless both are plugged into the same device. Naturally the Intel cards are used quite often, without... too many problems. I would not expect a configuration issue, unless you've made deliberate, unusual low-level changes.

Standard procedure with Intel devices: update NVM. Both of your devices have been around for a decade or so, so the firmware has seen a few updates.
