RE: [pfSense Support] AW: Firebox X series w/ 1.2 and 1.2.2 issue
So I put on 1.2.3 snapshot from earlier today, and threw the box into production. Didn't see a single watchdog timeout... browsed around in the web interface with Firefox, no problem. Downloaded a few files, watched people hit websites, etc. No problem. Then I whip open Internet Explorer and navigate to carp_status.php and the very second I hit that page, wouldn't you know: 0) Logout (SSH only) 1) Assign Interfaces 2) Set LAN IP address 3) Reset webConfigurator password 4) Reset to factory defaults 5) Reboot system 6) Halt system 7) Ping host 8) Shell 9) PFtop 10) Filter Logs 11) Restart webConfigurator 12) pfSense PHP shell 13) Upgrade from console 14) Enable Secure Shell (sshd) Enter an option: re2: watchdog timeout re2: watchdog timeout re2: watchdog timeout re2: watchdog timeout re2: watchdog timeout re2: watchdog timeout re2: watchdog timeout DOH!

RE: [pfSense Support] AW: Firebox X series w/ 1.2 and 1.2.2 issue
What version are you currently running? I have seen watchdog timeouts with 1.2 and 1.2.2. I have 2 units in a CARP cluster, and 5 of the interfaces are being used (2 WANs, although 1 of the WANs was not configured for the test, 2 LANs, and 1 dedicated sync interface). I have made various modifications to /boot/loader.conf which have reduced the watchdog timeouts, but they still show up. The behavior gets really weird when I have both units operating in a cluster.. Anyway, I think it might show up when you use more than 2 interfaces. Initial testing with just a LAN/WAN setup didn't appear to really have any issues.. then I added a second LAN and a dedicated sync interface for CARP and threw it into production, and it lasted about 10 minutes before it melted down with watchdog timeouts.

I performed my testing with (oddly enough) the latest 2.0-ALPHA-ALPHA snapshot. For some reason I don't have the current 1.2.2 available. Well, that makes my previous post a bit useless... I'll certainly try on the newest 1.2.3 snapshots. I may be putting this unit into production for a personal project and would like to have it most stable. 2.0 is rather impressive but I get the impression that it's not ready for primetime yet... :-) Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc.

I've just acquired an X500 unit and after throwing boatloads of traffic through it, I haven't seen a single watchdog timeout. Two ports are connected to a switch and a third port to a workstation.

Switched the cables a few times now. 3 different pre-fab cables (different colors even!).
