Hello Mykal,
Welcome to the community!
Try disabling all the VPN policies and IKE policies you have created after this reboot the firewall. Once the firewall is fully booted wit for about 10-15 mins then enabled all of the VPN policies and IKE policies. See if this will correct the issue.
Let us know what happens.
Thanks,
Hello JohnRo,
Thanks for getting back to me! I appreciate your time.
I am pleased to report that LAN and broadband have been up for almost four days. It appears as if the racoon in the machine is happy again...for now.
In addition to doing as you suggested with regards to 15 min shutdown and disabled VPN & IKE policies (actually deleted all VPN items since we no longer use), I had a helper on site assist with shutting down all dhcp devices prior to reboot. This included the WN802T v2 which is static and outside dhcp, but done just to give the FVS318G and easy time starting up. Lastly, custom ntp servers were changed from both set to pool.ntp.org to us.pool.ntp.org for field one and 0.pool.ntp.org for field two.
Not sure exactly which of the above was the most effective in resolving the issue, but the network is definitely stable now. With not much time to mess around, we did all of the above pretty much concurrently which is probably not the best if trying to figure out root cause.
Thanks again!
