Host machine WAN connectivity issue -- 2
Budget: $10 – $30 AUD
I'm seeking assistance with some specific networking issues in my current setup. After a host reboot, my VM router and LAN devices lose WAN access. It's only after I reboot my ISP's bridged router that everything starts to function again.
Curiously, if I leave the host running and reboot the VM router, LAN and WAN traffic works.
• Devices involved: ISP bridged router, Host with 2 NICs, VM router and LAN devices.
• Configuration: Currently, the VM router and LAN devices are set up with static IP addresses. I have maintained this configuration in order to avoid conflicts.
• DHCP server from VM router appears to conflict with the
ISP bridged router and the
host's br1
See network topology https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/e/2PACX-1vRWhqbrNxxR4uh5Ooiwgw2Z0MHYzu8GYwyv_7U1qYD32AFnW0sGKRuB9rpHEN4nSv663cUBcH97tFyj/pub?w=960&h=720
This DHCP server conflict, I suspect builds up packets and after hours of host use, the host and browser will freeze for 5-120 minutes, then come back to function.
• VM passthrough of NIC1 has error: unable to passthrough; however the host has IOMMU (VT-d) enabled
• Host OS: Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia Cinnamon 64-bit
• VM router OS pfSense 2.7.2-RELEASE (amd64)
Ideal skills for this job would be strong Linux and network troubleshooting expertise, with deep understanding specifically around virtual machines and static IP configuration. I need someone who can diagnose and, hopefully, prevent this issue from recurring, and ensure uninterrupted WAN access for my VM router and LAN devices.
Do not offer work over the project budget.
