Wan interface randomly in error.

Hi everyone. I'm looking for some help in troubleshooting intermittent problem on my Wan interface.

Im using Sophos UTM-9 9.702-1  Home. Software version. Not virtualised

Actually, this problem has been there for a while but since it was hapenning rarely, i just didn't do much. Now, since 2-3 days, i notice frequent interruption. My cable modem is up and does not show any sign of problem but i might connect the modem to my switch and Sophos in the switch as well to see if the problem would be with the cable modem interface. It good to mention that i changed my cable modem 3 times since i noticed this problem.

Now what it does is i'm randomly losing internet during the day and when i log in Sophos, in the dashboard, it show my WAN link being in error. I use a static IP. The other interfaces are ok.

In the logs, i found some interesting lines. The last time it happened today was at 11h07:

Everytime it happens, its mostly always these kind of logs thats comes back. I'm really puzzled to find what triggers the "Reloading Config".

 

Any ideas or suggestions?

 

Thanks!

  • Salut Patrick,

    I think this is your ISP - have you checked with them why your link is having problems?

    Cheers - Bob
