I have a remote site that has three NIC's, two for local networks and one going to the firewall and out to the Internet. The firewall is dieing and needs to be replaced. The CAT5 cable goes directly from the server to the firewall. When the firewall dies the one NIC in the server sees it go down and the rest of the networks also stop, no one can login to the serer and you cannot even ping it.
The fault is with the firewall and it needs to be replaced but I am very far away and no one will be on site with the skill to fix it for some time. I have been looking for some way I can stop the downed link from blocking the others but I have not had any luck with ethtool. Here is some data from dmesg. e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link down e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link down e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link down e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex SMB connection re-established (-5) e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link down e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link down e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex -- http://www.Radados.org
