We could use a bit more info : ) How do you have your PF deployed? Inline, VLan, etc?
How many users are your servicing? How many requests per second? What auth mechanisms are your using? MAC auth, 802.1x, etc? Also, if you are in a tight spot CALL INVERSE! They are great and will work with you, we can help you do a post mortem any time, but if your users are down getting the pros in is the fastest way to get the situation resolved.

It was a such a poor performance level, I had to stop iptables and memcache so users could at least have Internet access until I could resolve this issue. I have a completely inline system. (I know part of my problem) IT has 4 processors and 6GB of RAM with a 100GB HD partition. It is freshly built 5.3.1 system on a fresh install of CentOS 6.7 updated as of last week. Since being placed into production, it has been fairly rock solid. I say fairly because up to last week it was running fine until one of the eth listening service locked up and forced a hard reboot of the system. Otherwise it has been fairly stable until yesterday. Yesterday, user who had registered were having no problems. New residents could not get beyond the wait page. They would get the registration page, enter their credentials and then hit the please wait page and be stuck there. They could check the status page and see that they had registered but still nothing. I would go to the GUI and see this but I would also see that they had no IP address. Here is the odd part, I would take that MAC address and check iplog, iplog_archive and iplog_history in the DB and it would not show up. I would unregister the device, reset the role and user; I would then have the user renew their lease and have them register the device again. Same thing, stuck on the wait screen and not logging of the IP address. Any clues where I need to start looking? I only ask because it did not take long for my first RIAA violation to show up and I need to set a violation. Thanks. -- Gregory A.
