Bug #742
closed
apinger doesn't recover opt wan when connection returns.
0%
Description
I've seen this again ( previous a sub note in ticket 536 )
in a multi wan setup with failover groups.
If wan fails apinger set it offline and online when it recover
if wan2 fails apinger set it offline and keeps it offline when it should recover.
I then kill apinger and start apinger and wan2 goes online.

It's not that easy to replicate, none of mine do that. What kind of WANs?

A natted ip (linksys dmz)
As i also have problems provoking it to fail I've replaced both the dsl box and the pfSense box.

When this happens can you check if apinger process is running at all?
Can you please try latest snapshot there is a workaround for this.

This one should be reopened. Apparently it was closed only because of lack of feedback...
I experience the same issue. WAN is recovering well from a ping failure, but WAN2 (or OPT by default) does not come back. See the log file attached (searched for apinger in the system log). I always have to save the gateway configuration in the web frontend to bring the interface back up.
The apinger process ist still runing, to answer the last question!
Both interfaces are configured with a static IP, and are connected to a local router (ISP).
Help appreciated!

It's unlikely that it's the same issue still. Try a 2.1 snapshot, there has been a ton of work done in this area since 2.0.x.
Many of us run multi-wan and they both recover fine. If you still have issues, post on the forum, and if it's determined there still is an issue, a new ticket can be opened.

Same issue here with 2.1 RELEASE : with my two PPPoe WANs, when they goes offline and then came back, I have to reboot Apinger to make them goes online again.

Please provide your system log when the issue happens!
The only scenario that i can think of is when both pppoe links have the same address.

Same issue for us on pfsense 2.1 Release:
if opt3 goes down, it doesn't recover and the "last check" time on /status_gateways.php page doesn't change anymore for this GW.
I have to restart apinger service to get the GW up again.
Nothing interresting in the logs:
Oct 16 09:04:40 apinger: Starting Alarm Pinger, apinger(33389)
Oct 16 09:04:39 apinger: Exiting on signal 15.
Oct 16 08:57:11 apinger: SIGHUP received, reloading configuration.
Oct 16 08:39:34 apinger: ALARM: OVHADSL * down *

i have a similar issue but in some ways its different, my isp sometimes blocks all traffic to internet and only gives access to its server and they only serve a page that says to pay bill, in this case the wan is connected and the gateway is also online but ping to any other ip fails and this triggers a apinger to mark wan as down but it never attempts to disconnect the pppoe connection and reconnect which would actually recover the wan, if it did that then wan would recover but i have to do it manually every time this happens

I can confirm this problem. This bug should be reopened.
System:
2.1-RELEASE (i386)
built on Wed Sep 11 18:16:44 EDT 2013
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p11
Two WAN interfaces (both using static IPs) are in a gateway group and monitored with apinger. If the secondary WAN interface (the one not connected to the WAN port) fails, apinger correctly marks the interface as down. When the secondary WAN interfaces is UP again, apinger is not bringing the gateway up. It doesn't even check the gateway anymore. No pings are sent. On the page "Status -> Gateways" the information "last check:" always corresponds with the time the WAN route failed.

on my system there are 3 wans all static ips. this issue only happens when it is down for a long period. if just a few minutes it restores fine. but it seems there is a timout afterwhich apinger gives up and does not check the downed gateway anymore. this shows in the gateway status page (last checked). if I restart apinger all is well again.
