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. Cook [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: support@pfsense.com Sent: Friday, July 04, 2008 1:29 AM Subject: [pfSense Support] How to deal with this? Hello All, I have a few PfSense boxes around connected to cable modems. 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]

The entire status.php page from a system after an extended power outage would be helpful to see what specifically is happening. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
