Re: [pfSense Support] Can't connect to subaru.com on port 80

2008-10-07 Thread Jure Pečar

Coming late into this thread, I think I can add some salt to it :)

I have the exact same problem to one of the sites, one I actually worked for 
two years ago, so I know about the setup there.

At home I have pppoe to ISP and pfsense 1.2.1, problematic site has (probalby 
still) pfsense 0.9.6 and 100mbit ethernet to the same ISP. I could access their 
web server for as long it was running apache. After the switch to nginx, I 
could no longer access the web with exact same symptoms as described in this 
thread. Syn goes there, no ack ever comes back. Lowering mtu all the way down 
to 500 does not help. It seems I'm the only one who can't access the web 
service. Funny, smtp works ok in the initial greeting phase, trying to send a 
mail times out.

Does that give some additional insight?

[pfSense Support] Too Many CARP VIP cause auto failover?

2008-10-07 Thread frankie wong
Dear all,

I have found pfsense a very nice opensource firewall since half-an-year ago.
After intensive digging at google and testing, i had decided to migrate the
firewall to pfsense.
And it always looks good, failover are always smooth and without service
interruption.

However problem arise since a month ago, i had found the firewall will
automatically failover to the standby pfsense...
This won cause any interruption to the service, so i may notice at after
daily check...
It always failover in the busiest time when the bandwidth usage suddenly
surge for 2xMB in a minute.
I have used to switch on ntop for monitoring the server usage and it eat up
almost half of the CPU usage, so i decide to turn it off but it is no
luck.

Here are the detail of my firewall configuration.
Hardware : PE 1950 with 4GB of RAM
Pfsense version : 1.2 RELEASE
Bandwidth usage: 20Mbit/s at non business hour, will surge to 60 Mbit/s
during business hour
CPU Usage : Under 10 % with ntop switch off
CARP VIP : over 150


I had search through the forum and mailing list and i think it it relativly
small scale.
And i suspect the problem are cause by the CARP??, coz i only got about 100
VIP only half-an-year ago.
How is the mechanise of pfsense for monitoring the link status?

Thanks all for reading and hope i may be able to find some help to find the
cause of this problem.


Regards,
Frankie

Thanks Paul
Yes i do have a dedicated sync interface
Both of the WAN and LAN interface are connected to a cisco 3750 switch
I also have the port-mirroring on the WAN link for my IDS
I may check out the speed/duplex config on the switch to see

General question to developers:

which are usually problems which make PF sense failover to anoter unit?
Can an intense CRC problem cause a failover, or only a link down state 
can make this happen?

Sure i am very careful on the VHID.
It had causeme a lot of trouble because of the duplicated VHID
Also i had a weird experience on the CARP name.
I have a lot carp name which will be duplicate when there are more than 56
CARP VIP.
Let 's say

carp56 192.168.10.56
carp0   192.168.10.57
carp58 192.168.10.58

The VHID are normal, may be it is the error at web console?

 we don't have as many carp interfaces as you, but we do have about 30
 one one cluster with no ill effects.

 we've been very careful to keep carp VHIDs unique across our system.

[pfSense Support] Very urgent - DHCP server failure

2008-10-07 Thread Matias Surdi

Hi,

I'm using pfSense 1.2 , and suddenly DHCP seems to have stopped working. 
On the system log, i see the following:

That's a pretty helpful log message.  Looks like you declared a failover 
peer incorrectly.  Please review your configuration with that in mind.

The most common cause of failing over when it shouldn't is switches

Yes, anything that causes packet loss can make the backup switch to master.
