RE: [FW1] *** Problem with qfe card ***



Rodrigo,

The problem you are having is most probably not caused by a failure in the
quad card.
You probably have some kind of a system monitoring software that samples
your network
interfaces every 15sec and invokes a status check that returns an error
message by the OS
because StoneBeat puts the interfaces into a down state when the box is
offline. As you observed,
bringing the box online would stop the errors since the interfaces are now
"up"-ed.

You should probably work with the vendor of the system monitoring software
to have this
status check remove, since StoneBeat would monitor your active firewall
interfaces if you have
correctly configured your $SBHOME/etc/checklist file.

That's my 2c. anyway.

Let me know how it goes.
George

Subject:	[FW1] *** Problem with qfe card ***


Hello all,

I have two Sun Entreprise 220R (FW1 and FW2) with Solaris 2.6 and
recommended patches.
They are configured as a Stonebeat HA 3.0 cluster running CheckPoint
Firewall-1 4.1 SP4.
They have a double heartbeat, crossed-cable at hme0 and serial cable at
serial port B.
They have a qfe card each, with 3 interfaces configured (qfe0, qfe1 and
qfe2), qfe0 for external network (internet) and qfe1 and qfe2 for internal
networks.
FW1 is active and FW2 is standby.

Recently i noticed that the qfe card at FW2 (standby) shutts down, like a
reset, every 15 secs.
I've replaced the qfe card but the problem persists.
I noticed that this behaviour isn't causing any service interruptions.
I've isolated the machine from the cluster. As soon as it goes online the
problem disappears.
I forced it offline and connected a PC directly to it. The problem persists.
I've connected the PC to the fourth interface (qfe3), witch is not
configured through StoneBeat, and no problem with that.
I then connected a crossed-cable between qfe3 and the other interfaces
alternatly and the interface that was connected at the time to qfe3 through
the crossed-cable worked fine.

I think that this shouldn't be the normal behaviour, cause I have a similar
cluster and I never noticed something like that.

Does anybody ever seen something like that?

Th4nkz,

Rodrigo Borges
