sh script for auto reconnect isp

aa1

Here is my question on utm 9.4 x64 bit sophos firewall.

 

I cant reconnect when my isp drops its connection.

 

my internet interface is eth0 

 

I need a sh script to force utm 9.4 to auto reconnect to my isp 

 

or how to get utm to automaticly reconnect to isp from the webmin interface.

 

Thanks 

 

Shawn

    UTM should reconnect a connection as soon as possible.

    possibe UTM don#t see the connection as "disconnected".

    What is the interface status (from dashboard) when connection is dropped?

    what type of ISP connection do you use?

    try enabling "uplink monitoring", so UTM recognize link down more fast...possible

    Hi, Shawn, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    Try #7.7 in Rulz.  Did you get lucky?

    Cheers - Bob

    WAN
    		 Ethernet Up Up

    when it is working

     

    but when i am having issues

     

    eth0

    		 Ethernet Down Error

     

    and i have to disable 

    Uplink monitoring

    and then reenable it

     

    then i have to disable eth0 

    in the interface menu then renable eth0 then i have to renew dhcp lease.
