[Now Resolved] Network Issues - buzzer and laser down

The wired network at the space is currently down, which takes with it the Laser Cutter access control, and the phone, meaning we cannot buzz people into the building.

@TyIsI mentioned on slack that he had reset the network gear yesterday due to issues , but didn’t change anything.

Anyone been experimenting on the network recently?

dhcp crashed again, fucking annoying. I’m working on getting a new pfsense box up… but yeah its back up for now.

Lazer is up too, fyi

Thanks - I had poked around the pfsense dhcp page, but didn’t see anything that suggested it was down.
Are there any signs in the GUI to look for?

Unfortunately the gui reported it as running still. What I did was stop the dhcpd service, then started it (stop then start, not restart. although restart might work too). I don’t see any indicators in the logs why it stops serving dhcp :confused:

okay, noted for something to try if it comes up again.

I guess it would be a harmless hack to restart it every day at 5am or something?

DHCP pool exhaustion? What is the default lease lifetime set to?
