Greetings All,
Am running FreeBSD 7.0 on ET/BWMGR appliance. Ive hit a snag when trying to start natd, the box freezes. On googing ive found that it seems tobe a bug in natd within FreeBSD 7.0 but no work around is provided. Anyone on this list with a possible solution. I've run out of support licence for this box so even if Denis wanted to help, he cant without $$$.
Where is the bug documented? But you can update the FreeBSD on the ET/BWMGR, yes? At one point when I looked at one, I thought I could:-)
Been looking at this doc
http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/net/2008-06/msg00190.html Am going to look into upgrading the FreeBSD
I am still quite surprised how you related the problem defined here to your situation. Is ipfw the engine they use inside ET/BWMGR?? Does your ET have the same interface names as the one of this thread (vr0 and fxp0) ?? We could do with a capture of your dmesg.boot, if any. BTW, does the storage in the ET ever get full? How often do they rotate the logs? Or how do they do the traffic analysis (snmp?)?
Anyway, I still think you can update the ET to try and resolve the problem. If you don't then you still have to buy another BWMGR anyway, no? So you really don't stand to lose. Good luck.
Actually my interfaces are em0,em1,em2 and em4. After setting up the interfaces am supposed run a script rc.natd which I have attarched (Am new to BSD's but i can see its setting up ipfw rule somewhere). The point where its calling "/sbin/ipfw -q add 5000 divert natd all from any to any via $PUBIFAC" is where the box freezes..... I have also attarched another file dmesg.today hope it is helpful. The box is relatively new so I can't say alot about its perfomance. However this is its output of df -h
r2400# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad8s1a 421M 147M 241M 38% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/ad8s1e 560M 24M 492M 5% /var /dev/ad8s1f 68G 526M 62G 1% /usr
thanks
ALex
