I have my main connection from spectrum and I got verizon 5g as a backup. Everything works normal in till i plug in the verizon 5g router(IP passthrough enabled).
When plugged in I see the interface turn green and gets the IP but then go back to n/a. It will cycle from showing IP to N/A every few minutes. After 5-10 mins the webui becomes slower and then crashes and I get a 50x error in browser. Attempting to reboot or reroot the system hangs on stopping a service or something else and doesnt do anything after 10-15mins. I usually have to hard reboot with the power switch. This similar behavior happened when my spectrum modem was having an issue and replacing the modem fixed it. On 2.8 and similar behavior was seen in 2.72 so doesnt appear to be issue with the update.
If anyone could point me to a setting or logs I should be looking at to where this issue might be coming from that would be great.
Did you configure your interface to be a WAN port and setup the proper gateway group?
I copied the same settings i have with my main wan port for routing and interface setup. I had a gateway group setup but deleted it to see if that was the problem but no difference.
I can resetup the gateway group to see if that changes anything
not sure if you have seen this.
Tom talks a little bit about this in this video.
Thanks for the info. I tried a few thing and at this time it seems to be working now.
I updated my BIOS as a hail mary, thankfully that went ok.
After pfsense restarted I moved the Verizon connection to the spectrum port and everything worked like it should. Did a few more tests with switching which line was plugged into which port. It appeared to be more stable at least.
Everything seemed to work but I could not ping the spectrum gateway IP using gateway monitoring or ping tool it would just timeout.
I ended up rebooting the modem and pfsense, now everything is working as it should with failover also working.
