WAN Link down and up randomly during the day

fegauthier · September 20, 2021, 1:16pm

Hi guys!

I have some clients that has some issue with WAN. Multiple times in the day, eth0 (WAN) link turns down and up for about a second. It cause disconnection.

Version: 1.4

There is the logs

Does anyone know why it happens? It’s not only one setup but some setup does this issue. Thanks!

I got the same issue with another client

DHCP seems to release and renew. I don’t know why.

Version 1.3

Hi @fegauthier , do you have dmesg output?
Can you confirm that switch or some devices connected to these router does not block ports?

fegauthier · November 13, 2021, 6:51pm

Hi @Dmitry ,

Sorry for the delay. After some tests, the result is the same with an Ubiquiti EdgeRouter. I think that the problem come from the modem cable itself… It only happens with cable ISP. FTTH ISP didn’t give me this problem.

16again · November 14, 2021, 4:28pm

Watch lease time. DHCP client should renew its lease if 50% of lease time is passed. (and retry at 75% , 87.5%…)
If renew doesn’t work, lease ends , sessions will be cleared, and then you get a new one. Probably with same address, but NAT table is wiped.

fegauthier · November 14, 2021, 9:53pm

Thanks for the explanation. It seems to be that. DHCP are trying to renew access points. So access points are losing IP for about seconds and users are getting disconnected for a seconds. How can I avoid this issue?

fegauthier · November 14, 2021, 10:09pm

Finally it’s not the problem. WAN is the problem. Disconnect for about a seconds and come back.

I’m connected to the router via SSH and when WAN drops. I lose SSH connection so I’m pretty sure the problem comes from WAN. The thing that I don’t know is if it’s a configuration problem or ISP problem…

Hi, @fegauthier which exactly VyOS version is running?
I see some bugs, but I can not understand the root cause

I think also that this does not relate to physical link status because in dmesg I don’t see logs about link states changing

Dmitry · November 17, 2021, 4:53pm

BTW: Did you try to disable firewall firewall in name 'WAN_IN'? I see the potential problem with DHCP traffic.

fegauthier · November 17, 2021, 6:44pm

The version is VyOS 1.3-rolling-202008240118

I didn’t try to remove WAN_IN. I will give a try.

Dmitry · November 17, 2021, 6:46pm

I think that version from 2020-08-24 is very old because it is rolling images, where we can implement new features. You can also update your router.

fegauthier · November 18, 2021, 1:55pm

In fact I will update soon!

No problem since I remove the WAN_IN.

Will let some days to pass to see if the issue if fixed.

Could you explain me why the WAN_IN could cause problem?
