VIM commands (because vim is so not freaking simple)

You could also use the built-in easy editor ee. 😉

For whatever reason the pkg repo was not available when it tried to fetch them during the config install. Usually that's because the WAN was reconfigured. In that situation you may need to restore a config twice. However since it was only those two packages and you have manually reinstalled them it's not a big issue.

The LAN settings for the installer are used by the installer, but it's not fully implemented yet, and optional. For example, there could be a web-based installer, or you can SSH in and perform some pre-install configuration if needed.

As for the WAN/LAN settings being exported to the fresh install, that's in progress and will be in the next installer release, it's already being tested internally.

Just set no gateway or set the WAN to DHCP at the initial assignment. Then access it via the WAN and enable the non-local gateway option.

If you really have to you could probably set that at the command line but I'd have to go through and check.

The servers should still be accessible.

But I would just reinstall 2.7.2 and restore your config.

@Gertjan it didnt but I did try it earlier on.

It was weird the only thing I have changed in months was adding DHCPv6 which is why I set it back to none. I guess it could have just been unrelated and fixed when it rebooted but I thought i should mention it as thats what I did.

@SteveITS

that answered it. many thanks!

This installer works with both serial and VGA consoles.

@santammapr said in Unable to install pfsense 2.7.2 (no internet connection, no proxy settings):

Is this an offline installer: pfSense-CE-2.7.2-RELEASE-amd64.iso.gz

Yep, that is an offline installer.

Hi,

I am facing the pfsense Crash report . Its fressh setup. The firewall keeps rebooting.

@Gertjan I had no idea about the RSS feed for the dashboard... it was not there by default. Good to know! Thx.

@jimp you're my savior!!
Oh my... thank you thank you thank you!!!

@svandive

I foolishly also made this assumption thinking it should have just worked out of the box.

The issue im getting is after various permutations messing with CSM, secure boot, various USB sticks and other variables, i still cannot pass (this is just past the splash page to even install pfsense). The only thing left i havent tried is a BIOS update.

Going forward this should be less of an issue. We reduced the memory requirement for pkg by using a different compression.

I mean it's definitely more secure to stop passing traffic until the admin corrects a config mismatch than to just keep passing traffic on what might be correct. For example this is the same situation you might hit after importing a config into entirely new hardware where no NIC/Interface can be guaranteed.

I agree though it would be better to tie the interfaces to a specific MAC to prevent re-ordering. But doing so is non-trivial.

There have been a few feature requests open for this over the years. Like: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/410

Yes, it will definitely have changed your NDI which is why you're seeing the repo check failures.

If you send me your NDI and order number in chat I can check it.

The i210/i219 NIC uses the igb driver and the x550 NIX uses ixgbe. So if you boot the firewall with a config that contains igb0-4 assigned it will drop to the interface assign screen at the console because two of those no longer exist That's expected.

Not really! If I could I'd try to replicate it that way but so far I've been unable to.

@Gertjan Thank you so much for the info.

Mmm, your WAN doesn't show an IP address at all. So if you're expecting it to pull a DHCP lease from somewhere then you probably have a L2 disconnect somewhere.
