[pfSense Support] "Suppress ARP messages when interfaces share the same physical network"
Hi all In System/Advanced Functions, there's the ability to "suppress ARP messages when interfaces share the same physical network" When would you need that feature, or would I need it? I have two installation types. One with all interfaces (wan/multiple lan/management/multiple global scopes/etc) running as vlans on the same physical interface. The other is with Wan on its own physical interface, and all other interfaces running as vlans and sharing one physical interface. I do not have any particular problems, but am just trying to understand. Kind regards Anders - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [pfSense Support] How to deal with this?
What cable modems are these? (Brand and model) Why not use static IP's? There is custom code on the list associated with pings failing, giving an opportunity to run some code Kind regards David Hingston - Original Message - From: "B.

There have been quite a few storms in our area the past few days, and while UPSs have kept networking equipment alive and working, the cable companies modems have lost cable sync for a few hours. The dhcp lease expired and left us with no remote ip. After the cable came back up the pfsense boxes had no IP still. Since the fxp0 interface attached to the cable never lost connectivity with the modem we had to send people out and issue commands (killall -9 dhclient && dhclient fxp0) and then all was well. Short of rebooting the box, or having someone 'technical' on hand.. Is this an issue that anyone might want to think about? thanks in advance. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
