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.
