Sophos UTM SG 135 problem with internetconnection / DHCP

Applehorsti

Hi there,

I have a strange problem with an internet connection on an SG 135 with the current firmware version.

Two identical cable connections from Vodafone Kabel Deutschland with 1 Gbit each on ETH1 and ETH2 are configured identically on the UTM. Both lines have a static IP that is assigned by the provider via DHCP. Line one has been running smoothly for almost two years. Now a second line has been added, it always runs for about 30 minutes, then it is gone for about 30 minutes. In the log file I see that after the lease has expired, the UTM tries to re-establish the connection. She tries that for about 30 minutes, after which it works again. The uplink balancing is also correctly switched on. Both interfaces are configured as standard gateways.

I have already swapped different Internet interfaces on the UTM, no improvement. In the log file I see the following:

I have no idea what else to try.

Any help is very welcome.

    Hi  ,

    thanks for the answer.

    Here are my ansers:

    What is the firmware version on your firewall? 

    Firmware is 9.705-3

    Did you define the gateway for the new WAN interface on the UTM? 

    Yes, see attachments. WAN1 & WAN2 are from the same Provider and are identical configured. WAN2 ist the one who disconnect ever 30 minutes.

    If UTM is sending DHCP requests and does not get DHCP Ack from the server, it needs to be looked at at the upstream device.

    I opend several tickets at the provider. He told me everthing is OK on his side :-(

    Thanks for helping me.

    Horst

    WAN2

    Hello Horst,

    why don‘t  you just use a static definition, if you know your static ip settings?

    Hi Phillip,

    because provider allow  only DHCP. I tried it with static settings, but after 30 minutes same problem.

    Strange thing is, when I set the provider modem from brigde mode into router mode, the DHCP setting from the modem works fine. With that setting i have double nat  wich is not my way...

    Hello,

    i have never heard that Vodafone only allows DHCP in that setup.

    Is the 30 min error happening on both lines, then?

    Hello Phillip,

    his is the strage thing... If i set the lines to static setup, the 30 minute error occurs on bot lines. Line 1 is configured with dhcp an runs since 2 years without problem. Vodafone said something wrong with my firewall, they have no problem with their setup...

    Gruss aus dem Saarland :-)

    Hello Horst,

    can you exchange both modems with each other?

    Does the error go with the modem?

    Or does it stay at th second line?

    you don‘t have a switch between the UTM and the modems?
