Dear list, I have become a huge fan of pfSense and managed to replace our old routers at work by two nifty Netgate SG-4860 gateways. They work nearly perfectly. I just have a few seperate internal VLANs (e.g. for administration, monitoring and backup) that give me a headache. Every day at the same time(s) there are spikes in traffic (I can see in the dashboard) between two VLANs. Traffic goes up to pretty much 800 Mbps for 1-2 minutes.
During that time our monitoring system goes wild. High latencies and even ping losses. CPU load of the router is shown at around 50%. Once the traffic goes below 800 Mbps all is instantly fine again. I tried to simplify the firewall rules (e.g. let through all the traffic) but that did not help. Is there anything I can do? Any hidden switches? Anything to find and fix the situation? Traffic shaping for ICMP? Unicorn dust? Thanks in advance for your hints. …Christoph _______________________________________________ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
