Hi all.
I have found the following message (/var/log/messages), following which the
interface goes down and stays down till I bounce the box. I'm not sure
whether it is a problem common to FreeBSD, or specific to the hardware and
its driver, so I decided to start with the guys who generally seem to come
up with real answers :)
/var/log/messages snip -->>
Oct 3 22:15:11 chico /kernel: hdlc0: lcp: ignoring RXJ (proto-rej) for
proto 0x8021, danger will robinson
Oct 3 22:15:17 chico last message repeated 2 times
Oct 3 22:15:44 chico /kernel: hdlc0: Down event, taking interface down.
Oct 3 22:15:48 chico /kernel: hdlc0: lcp illegal conf-req in state initial
<<-- end of snip
Anyway, after this the last message (lcp illegal...) continues to repeat
ad-infinitum at about a 5 second interval - I presume that is as the
interface continually attempts to get up again.
It is interesting to note that the interface card has two ports, both of
which are active, but this error has only ever occurred on 'hdlc0'. The
second port ('hdlc1') is a clean as a whistle.
FYI:
bash-2.04# uname -a
FreeBSD chico.xxx.com 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Thu Jun 28
21:42:32 SAST 2001 root@:/usr/src/sys/compile/chico i386
(This reminds me - it's time to update this box!)
bash-2.04# ifconfig hdlc0
hdlc0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet x.y.z.1 --> x.y.z.2 netmask 0xfffffffc
The above confirms that the interface is running PPP, not HDLC, despite the
name. And the far end of the line (at the ISP) has Cisco kit to the best of
my knowledge.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Regards,
Patrick O'Reilly.
