Hello all,
I’m
running into an interesting problem that I can’t find any information
on. Periodically, my firewall (FW-1
4.1) decides to quit (i.e. I’m unable to route packets in/out to the
Internet). A reboot remedies the
situation. When I check dmesg I found the following line, which occurs around the
time I lose my routing to the outside:
Sep 10 00:37:05 hydra
fw: [ID 140332 kern.notice]
FW-1: last packet seen 19090 seconds ago, assuming clock change.
The number of seconds ago varies, but the message is logged
at different times near when connectivity is lost. (A ifconfig hme0 down / ifconfig
hme0 up appears to fix the problem.)
Does FW-1 have a setting to go to sleep if it doesn’t see a
packet? Clock change?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Steve
