@ethanh100:

Hi, I am setting up my first Pfsense box and have a few questions about NICs. The system I am planning on getting (Dell Poweredge 1950 III) has dual gigabit lan. I planned on having one of these on WAN, and then getting a newtwork card for the output of the LAN. THe other mobo port would be used for the other virtualized systems on that server. Does this make sense? If I were to get a NIC however, it would most likely have 2 ports, so should I just have LAN/WAN on that one card or in the way I described previously. And if I did it the first way, would it make sense and even be possible to take both those ports and plug them into the switch, just so I have double the throughput at that point, or is that pointless? Sorry about all the questions, this is my first time building a router so I just want to make sure its right. Thanks so much!

I would just use the dual NIC already on the machine, and get a manageable switch for your VLAN.

Seeing as nobody knows i eventually found the answer - if you goto Status\System Logs\Settings and look at the section titled "Log file size (Bytes)" you will see how many MB your logs are using there.

There really should be a cross check here to make sure if you chose to log to memory that there will be enough available to boot.

Edonkey… Wow... People still use that??  is it 2005? ;)

@stephenw10:

Are you running 2.4.3?

The was an issue with mbuf leaks in that showed especially badly with the cxl driver. That has been fixed for a few versions though.

Check the Status > Monitoring graphs for mbuf cluster usage.

When you say 'completely locked up' does it stop responding at the console? Try pressing Ctl-T at the console if it appears non-responsive, what output does that give?

Steve

I have been on 2.4.2 since it was released, I upgraded to 2.4.3 after the most recent lockup.
Next time it happens I will try the console and see if ctrl+T does anything. Both the web connection and console did not function when this happens, but I didnt try the ctrl+T thing so ill have to see.

Nope. Never seen it. Though "INIT" means it thinks the interface is down/unplugged. Countless people using VLANs on a lagg and CARP. Though most I have seen are using LACP, not a static group like you are.

No, but there is a public Slack and IRC ( #pfSense on freenode )

Yes sir john. Different subscribers i have this:

everything is fiber which is speed of light what speed transmit the receive is they same speed right?
I have FTTH (fiber to the home) in every household and different areas.

so the upload is  all of  theme is open for the corporate only because more on sending email, posting photos, uploading files etc. while the download you have to limit specially saving bandwidth.

which is  download is for opening web page, receiving email, watching online videos. etc.

and also  the residential subscribers you have to limit of theme.

single user (1pc): upload –---->512 KB | Download-----> 1024
offices (maximum 6cpc): upload ------>open bandwidth | Download-----> up to MB upgrade
Internet cafe (maximum 20 pc): upload ---------->Mb | Download------------->Mb
Corporate (maximum 50 pc): upload ------>open bandwidth | Download-----> 4 MB

sir john this is right to limiting bandwidth?
what is your suggestion?

"all of that Disturbing IDM"  :'(

Turned out to be our UPS being misconfigured, and shutting down the server while we blamed the update… sorry and thank you for helping!

@SammyWoo:

…so I can tell right on top, aha, somebody is running an at&t DSL...

Probably better than using your family name or number.street as SSID. Knowing an ISP doesn't give you much of an attack vector.

Change the port the webGUI is listen to in System > Advanced > Admin Access.
Also check "WebGUI redirect" to disable the redirection of port 80.

Allow access to the new webGUI port only on internal interfaces.

For systems behind a firewall, this add a sensitive lag when logiing in or going to the dashboard.
It would be nice to make that call not as often as the page is loaded.

Umm, wrong post? The OP was not talking about Squid taking up too much memory. And Squid is a cache, it's supposed to cache data. If it's using too much memory, you're caching too much.

0.0.0.0 is the source address used before a device knows it's IP address.  It's often used for DHCP requests.  You can use packet capture or Wireshark, to see where those packets are coming from and what they're doing.
