Hey tech@, At my wits end here, I recently got a sunfire v120 from work for pretty cheap. Quite excited to have some non x86 hardware, I set it up as a router.
However, for some reason after sometimes mere hours -- othertimes days at a time, the gem0 interface needs to be cycled: ifconfig gem0 down ifconfig gem0 up dhclient gem0 no packets pass until that has been done. At first I have been placing the blame squarely on the Hitron modem we have in the house from shaw cable, but now I've noticed the issue happen twice on the internal interface as well, gem1. All VLANs I have setup stop responding until gem1 is cycled. gem1 is just used by a collection of vlan(4) interfaces, so traffic resumes immediately after interface gem1 down/up. I've tried to turn on ifconfig gem0 debug to catch anything wierd, but there has been nothing of interest there. Dmesg attached, starting to wonder if this machine is at its EOL and the network ports are dying :( This issue occurred with the 5.7 release as well. dmesg: console is /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/isa@7/serial@0,3f8 Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993 The Regents of the University of California.
