@ITH said in 6100 Fails to come back up after power outage without manual reboot:
Is there a way to add a startup delay in the netgate? A pause line maybe? If the issue is the rest of the network isn't online yet, that could make sense. I would hope that it would resolve when it detects the rest of the network but if a delay isn't possible maybe an auto-restart of the netgate after 5 mins of no connectivity?
That's a known subject and issue to deal with.
Most common 'brutal' solution : you can add a boot delay on the pfSense boot console access.
Typically, it's 3 seconds or so, the time an admin using the console access to switch to single user mode, or something else. By default, it counts to 3 and boots pfSense.
Of : if you use DHCP as a WAN access method, play with the (on the WAN interface settings ) :

and now you have new options - see somewhat lower.
Btw : these are just some ideas, see also the pfSense Documentation about this.
