    @jimp:

    I tracked down the cause of this. The next new snapshot will work again.

    Great thanks, all seems to be working as it should with the 19th june snapshot.

    I have seen some weird things to like when making a VLAN and assigning that VLAN to an interface you have to look at the assignments carefully. Pfsense will sometimes rearrange your previously last VLAN and assign it to a different interface. I always double check before clicking apply now. This just happened to me yesterday and I'm running 2.1RC0 i368 built on Thu May 23 19:52:31 EDT 2013. I hope this makes sense, let me give an example:

    I have a parent interface of lets say em0 and on em0 I will make the following VLANs:

    10 - core
    20 - admin
    30 - research

    Now if I make another VLAN 40 and want to assign that to em0 I click the (+) symbol to make the assignment but the Pfsense will move VLAN 30 to a different interface or VLAN. So I always double check before I click apply to make sure things haven't changed.

    This might be what is happening to you which could explain why Pfsense is reporting the IP range conflict. I think this problem is repeatable.

    Hope this helps.

    Seems that the error mentioned in this post:

    http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,63580.0.html

    caused the NAT failure as a side effect. I disabled the floating rule mentioned in the other post and NAT worked again.

    Yes that was probably from a failed filter reload on the slave. Once the fix is on both units they should be OK.

    Saw the fix.  Will test it later.  Fully expect that it will correct the issue.

    It requires a manual reboot after such a switch because the binaries are 64-bit after the update, so the reboot can't fully complete since it can't run 64-bit binaries on a 32-bit OS.

    If the CPU and such support 64-bit then it will come up after the manual reboot, though you'd need to reset the RRD data.

    The figures are correct - the pfSense LAN interface is sending 2.22 Mbps out. The first host in the table is receiving 2.13 Mbps in (to it). The graph is from the  point of view of the pfSense interface being graphed. The table is from the point of view of each client system.

    I just upgraded one system (non HA) without removing the packages and it came up just fine and reinstalled the packages.  I did see some errors in the logs related to snort and pbi but right after that it mentioned uninstalling and then re-installing snort and it came up just fine on it's own just like a good little firewall.

    Seems to have worked perfectly.  I am doing the same thing on a cluster now locally.  Upgrading the secondary first and will test for awhile on the secondary before going back to the primary.

    Normally you should provide the log of what is going wrong.

    From ipsec side of things this does not matter at all.
    As soon in pfSense you define the natting the other side will not see the private ips at all.

    So it does not matter how you express policies of NAT here since the other side will not look ever at that.
    Its just some parameters do not match there and that is what the log will express hence the need for it.

    Warning - The following rrdtool commands will reset the gateway quality RRD and all existing data will be lost.

    Apinger sets the gateway quality RRD's like this.  Which is not consistent with the other pfSense RRD's.

    rrdtool create /var/db/rrd/WAN_DHCP-quality.rrd \ DS:loss:GAUGE:600:0:100 \ DS:delay:GAUGE:600:0:100000 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:775 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:796 \

    To make the gateway quality RRD's consistent with the other pfSense RRD's, you might try this:

    rrdtool create /var/db/rrd/WAN_DHCP-quality.rrd \ --step 60 \ DS:loss:GAUGE:120:0:100 \ DS:delay:GAUGE:120:0:100000 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:1000 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:5:1000 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:60:1000 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:720:3000 \

    Replace "WAN_DHCP" with the target gateway's name.
