Thanks for the thoughts. I probably added the duplicate when I was trying to figure out why my connection was dropping, at first I figured I messed up setting things up so I was reentering some of it. So the line "ip route 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.1.1" accomplishes the same thing? I can remove the redundant one, though it doesn't sound like it's the cause of my issues?looks fine to me, altho the "ip route 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.1.1" statement is redundant as you already have a default pointing to the same IP. that much flapping on every single port really looks like a hardware fault, can you unplug one connection at a time and see if it goes away? this includes the whole SFP+ copper module, maybe one of them is bad and friggin things up
Right now I just have it connected to the router through a dumb switch into one of the 1gig ports and the UPS plugged into it. Not showing a dropped connection on either of those since yesterday. Both transceivers are still plugged in, though nothing into them. I'll remove one, add my PC to the other and give it some time, see if that causes a problem, add unRaid and work my way up.
My other issue is I'm on a timeline, return window closes in just a couple days so I'm inclined to ship this one back and grab another off eBay instead. But I'll report back with any findings, thank you
Next morning edit-
Started with the PC last night, no drops for about an hour. Added the unRaid server through the DAC cable, no drops. I then moved PC to another port and the other transceiver, then not thinking put the PC to sleep so of course it disconnected. But started back up this morning and it's had no disconnects since. So at this point it does not seem to be the PC, unRaid, DAC cable or either transceivers causing issues.
Leaves two options, OPNSense or the backup unRaid connection. My guess is OPNSense, though not a clue what the cause could be. Regardless when I get a chance I'll connect it as well and see.
