    RRD is your graphs and charts. If you want to keep the history of your stats across installs add the RRD data when saving your config.

    Replacing a hard drive is trivial if you have your config backed up. Perform a clean install and restore your config.

    @Grimson:

    Install pfSense, connect via SSH and follow the FreeBSD handbook: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/disks-adding.html

    Thank you Grimson…I found that page also and realized I'll have to wait for the NIC to come in.

    @kroem:

    I've never used Avahi, but need to get Sonos working accorss VLANS - could someone with a working setup post their config maybe?

    I have one "media" VLAN and one "main" VLAN with controllers(ipads/phones) in the main one.

    I believe the only way will be to rebroadcast sonos' broadcasts on its own vlan.

    @medicineman25:

    @chpalmer, thank you for the response. My apologies, I should clarify.

    Is this something that is simply set in the wizard and the opendns will update the ip with that url? Does opendns handle that? I am using a variant of a domain name that I already own, will that work? Or do I need to create another hostname for login?

    Ah!    You can use your DNS to reach anything you have setup on your network as long as you allow it in the firewall settings.    DNS is simply a name resolution to an IP address.  Use if for anything you need.

    The brand new AC86u is capable of 100MB/s reads and 90MB/s write on samba and it only had a 1.8GHz processor.

    This is then on an eMMC flash storage and not on an SD card as on the RAPI, and on top of this that plastic routers
    came with ASIC and/or FPGA`s that frees up the entire CPU and it is able to do more. pfSense is a x86 software
    firewall and nothing more at this moment. An yes a small samba server should be not installed on it as I see it right
    like other also do, but you will be able to get a NAS with OwnCloud, Samba, Download station and whatever they all
    offers today, and connect it to your pfSense easy to get access from outside with a VPN connection.

    @johnpoz:

    So did you go into your daytek and

    UNmarking "Broadcast DSL status to LAN" under ->System Maintenance->Management

    User johnpoz solved this in the above post.

    When I un-ticked this, no flooding anymore!!!! Yeee  8)

    For me this worked as the source of my broadcast traffic was my DSL modem, for other people this might be due to other traffic broadcasts in their networks.

    Thanks yeah I'll give that a try. I just can't believe I'm struggling with such a basic problem…moving a file from Windows to FreeBSD. Would be a lot easier if I could figure out how to mount my USB stick (or if I could get the file uploaded with the file uploading feature).

    I'll investigate WinSCP. Thanks!

    Just an update from my end, I had the systems replace by the vendor, sent me another system exactly the same.
    I got the same error the only common part was the network card (N2XX-AIPCI02 Intel Quad port GbE Controller (E1G44ETG1P20))

    So i purchased another Network card this tie  Dual Intel Pro/1000 and everything works fine.

    I'm assuming the N2XX-AIPCI02 had some issues with the newer system, as it was working perfect in the older optiplex system.

    Thank you again for your help.

    Does your wan Access come back if you power cycle your cable modem without rebooting PFSense?  I have, what may be, a similar issue but I can restore internet by rebooting only
    The cable modem. It started the day after I upgraded to 2.4 and unfortunately it is still randomly happening after 2.4.1 - I’m considering rolling back for a while until the dust settles more on 2.4 🙁

    Wow I can't believe it took me a month before I could really sit down and try anything with this again, after upgrading PFSENSE router and getting smart managed switches and other stuff.

    Since the last post the CenturyLink Router had to be replaced for some reason it and the TV box(which was replaced also) was causing the phone call id incoming to not display on the TV via the original TV box/ router combo they gave us. Tech seemed to think some firewall settings I supposedly set in the CL router caused the issue… DMZ'ing one port/device. Right. I rarely get lucky enough to have a tech with network background come by. they have been general techs.

    Purchased a switch with igmp snooping, basically a smart managed switch.

    This switch told me today that there does not appear to be any VLAN's coming from the CL Fiber Modem, and also allowed me to identify the IP ranges for IGMP. None of which I have seen online.
    IP Address           VLAN ID
    239.192.28.15   1
    239.192.48.25   1
    239.231.0.20   1

    I assume no vlan atm because no difference in the way anything worked with and without the managed switch in between the CL Router. or my PFSense router. Creating vlan 201 coming from CL Modem and untagging the router side port caused there to be no connection.

    Speed tests today using various sites with my PFsense router connected to the CL Modem gave me upwards of 900+ up and down depending on testing location.

    IGMP Proxy, Firewall Wan, Firewall Lan, screenshots attached.

    I factory reset settings today. Reconfigured no difference.

    Status is that it still works for about 5 or so seconds and then stops streaming stations.

    Types of IGMP messages I have received
    The source address 192.168.10.57 for group 239.255.255.250, is not in any valid net for upstream VIF. <<<< very common first ip is always internal(as far as i can tell) to my network and not the tv box
    select() failure; Errno(4): Interrupted system call <<< rare
    Some other generic messages before it was configured right.

    Now when I am going through the CL router the Switch snooping shows the multiple IGMP addresses(as mentioned above), it also shows 239.255.255.250 but that is only from my laptop connected to the switch looking at the interface so going to say it doesn't count.

    So Modem > Switch(snooping IGMP) > CL Router = TV works, phone call ID works on TV box Internet works etc.

    But when I go through my PFsense router it doesn't show any IGMP going through at all.
    So Modem > Switch(snooping IGMP not seeing any IP's coming through) > PFSENSE = TV stations for 5 seconds or so when channel is changed, Phone ID works on TV box, Internet works etc.

    Now my assumption is my IGMPPRoxy is either not configured right or broken somehow.
    What other configuration information do you wonderful people need from me to troubleshoot.

    I do want to / am going to try a full on factory image factory reset of my PFSENSE router in case at some point I messed up something that upgrading between versions wont fix for some reason.

    If you don't need to filter anything to/from the customers, only isolate them, then even an L2 switch with private VLANs or a similar feature would be good enough.

    "disperse traffic at a higher priority (QoS) I.E. VOIP, Plex, etc…."

    So your VOIP and Plex are on different networks?
