You can just set the firewall optimisation to conservative to increase the state timeouts:

https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/config/advanced-firewall-nat.html#firewall-optimization-options

A TCP keep-alive would be something inside the VPN which I assume is from your client on OPT to the remove Zscaler device directly.

I'll follow those instructions, thank you!

@michmoor I set it to transparent and it's good to go. I kept thinking maybe a container or FreeBSD jail was running that connected to something. But the transparent mode fixed it.

@stephenw10
That worked. Awesome..
Thanks!!

Already done, thanks. But now I will try to unlock the Modem/ONT in order to read its settings or I will look for a compatible SFP module to use the same 4100 as ONT. I don't see other possibilities. If you have any other ideas, welcome.
Thanks anyway for the assistance you have provided me.

There's an open feature request for it here: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14047

Thank for your answer but it was a network connectivity issue. I have already solved my problem.

JOY!!! --- and duh on my part...The simplest things!!!

"Mmm, sounds like maybe the laptop is configured statically and simply doesn't have a DNS server set?"

.... That was it... again... a DUH..... I'm taking up gardening!

THANK YOU ALL for your help.... you can close this thread now.

Hi @jimp I will try it, thanks !!

@bmeeks I am sorry for the delay, being an enthusiast puts a limit on how much time I can devote to my server... I disabled the widget and saw no other errors. I will re-enable it (just for testing) and will pull any logs on the first available chance.

Thanks for all feedbacks!

@stephenw10 said in pfSense LAGG-LACP with HP VC FlexFabric Switch:

Timeouts might be a fast/slow mismatch.

Can you see any debug info from the switch stack?

Changing of the Timeout did not help. I tried it on both side so that every side had the same setting.
We are looking for the debug log, so far there are not many info's in the log.

You can try:
...

Hmm non of the command are working.
We are using the HPE Virtual Connect Management CLI v4.85

Are you commands for this type of switch? I look around and could not find any similar commands. We configured everything on the WEBgui.

@rcoleman-netgate I was so excited I forgot, thank you for removing...really excited each day I learn something new about pfSense and its resilience.

@robbiett said in Netgate 8200 and Unifi L3 Switch Configuration:

've had to do something like that before, plus leaving myself # instructions in the file so I know what I did:

Thanks for the suggestion. We have a bunch of ephemeral linux containers spinning up and down so I would not want to have to manage updating the host file in our case I think. I could see this being an option if things weren't moving around so much though.

Thanks again.

@jimp fix confirmed. thanks.

@rcoleman-netgate said in Popups when loggin in to pfsense:

@blankman it will also do it on the first login of the calendar year I believe.

Not quite, but close.

It will display the popup if any part of the text changes. We change the copyright year in the text around the first of the year, so the first time someone logs in after that copyright year gets bumped, they'll see the popup again.

@jimp I was afraid of that. :(

Ah, that would do it. Not sure how that could have changed since 22.05 though.

Steve

Strange. Tested now again, and this time it showed up immediately. The one from yesterday is yet to show though... But that is still a finding, then I know that it in fact does work.

Thanks guys!

For anyone that comes across this, to sum up, using a Spider KVM and attaching virtual media to that is what was not working, at least not with BSD.
Using the servers IPMI virtual functions worked.
