[8.965] PPPoE and link balancing

$

Tonight after the midnight rollover the IPv4 gateway failed, the UTM decided it should automatically enable uplink balancing - Major bug.
Causes the other link to drop out then nothing worked.

The IPv4 g/w appears to have authentication issues, but I can't tell at the moment whether they are ISP or the UTM has mixed up the PPPoE configurations.

The modem on the ADSL service providing the IPv4 g/w indicates that it is working fine, but the UTM indicates it is down both link and status, yet it is picking up an address.

For the moment I have disabled one ISP link so that my son can submit his uni papers.

And as fast as I can disable uplink balancing the UTM knows better and re-enables it. Eventually by disabling one link I was able to disable uplink balancing.

Reviewing PPPoE logs for the last couple of days the issue appears to be the UTM confuses links and put part of one configuration on the other link resulting in the links failing because of password errors. No, the passwords were not changed after midnight.
