Since a few days I get the following messages in the daily security run output.
The messages are every day a few more or less. So I copied an example in here:

Code:
freenas.local kernel log messages:

igb0: link state changed to DOWN
bridge0: link state changed to DOWN

Im not sure, what that means and how I can fix it

  • igb0: link state changed to DOWN
    --> Does that mean, that the igb0 interface is shut down, or does it loose the connection like when the cable is plugged out?
  • tap0: Ethernet address: 00:bd:8c:d4:68:00
    --> What is tap0 ?
    --> Why does it have different adresses over the time?
  • tap0: promiscuous mode enabled
    --> ?
  • bridge0: link state changed to UP
    --> what is this "bridge0"?
My System is:
I`m not sure where to search the problem, because I`m not sure, what exactly the messages mean.

If someone can give me a hint, thanks for that!
