Hello,
Short Problem Description: Starting the Backup Server results in 50% (or more)
packet loss on the WAN facing Interfaces. I saw in the states table that it
seems that the Backup server is sending packets to over the Master Server, or
so it seems. Maybe I have a basic issue in my setup, though I am not a network
newbie, I am not a GURU either.
Background:
I am currently setting up what will be our new Firewall and Gateway system. In
the end we will have a Multi WAN Setup with 5 or 6 WAN Interfaces, some
loadbalanced for internet access, some for dedicated Services.
I have two Servers, fw-01 (PFSense Master) and fw-02 (PFSense Backup).
Currently I have 2 WAN Interfaces connected (at OPT1 and OPT2, I do not use the
WAN Interface as I did not setup VLANS before assigning the interfaces, and I
need VLAN's for all my WAN connections, could this be a problem or does it not
matter?)
All WAN Interfaces have a /28 network with .14 set as the gateway IP for this
network. The Internet Routers have mostly static public IP's, but I do not have
the luxury of having more than one Public IP, so the router do NAT for the
internal interfaces.
I hope someone can point me at where the problem seems to be, if you need any
more information I am happy to provide it!
best regards
Ray
