maybe DPD problems, i have made in the past various tests with pfsense and cisco concentrators and it runs for while and then it stops. What i saw is, that cisco conc. and pfsense have DPD problems, but this test was a long time ago. Maybe the other folks here have established a pfsense release with a cisco conc. Greetings Heiko

That worked perfectly, thanks for the info.

There is two ways to doing this. Move the CF card to another system. Make sure to configure the correct drivers for the interfaces and setup the LAN IP. Use a FreeBSD or pfSense machine, VMware works great for this, and mount the pfSense embedded image file. Change the configuration and then write it to the flash card. This is the method I do when I upgrade my pfSense box so I don't have to manually configure anything. If interested in #2 you can check out the sh-mount-image.sh and sh-replace-config.sh scripts at http://wgnrs.dynalias.com/pfsense/ As far as the RJ45 to serial adapter would a Cisco console cable work? I know they are RJ45 to serial, just not sure if the pin out is the same. If so you should be able to pick one up for cheap.

thx.

No Comment  ;D

devfs is a virtual file system.  You can't add more space to it - it will always take as much space as is required. Generally, anything that doesn't have a path starting with /dev as the second field of the fstab or output of "mount" is a special file system. Oh, and general good principle to operate by - if it isn't broken, don't fix it (also known as, if you don't have a problem, don't go looking to create one unless you know what you're doing).

The original 1GB CF I installed in a Hacom Light in July of '07 still running flawlessly off a full install.  I even updated to 1.2 Final a couple of days ago.

Thanks guys i've got them regards, Johan

i already find out ;D thx the topic can be closed

I am very interested in this to but I was looking at the Alix 3C2 because that has 256MB of RAM. I would be very interested to know what sort a though put you can get with this down an IPSEC tunnel. I like to run snort etc so that is prob smallest M/B. I was looking at the Jetway boards but they do put the prie up by alot. Anyone tested the alix with snort and VPN tunnel?

If the modem does the PPPoE your pfSense WAN might simply run as dhcp. Did you ever try that? Unfortunately it did not either, actually when I reset to factory defaults, this is where pfSense hangs on startup, I had to take off the cables so could time out

@sullrich: Remote syslog. I got that … it's fine for the debug, it's great for the monitoring too  ;D It is just that once things are running ok, i might not need to syslog all the time. ( or when I am not here) I will probably syslog to the dmz I dig into the rc script and found  out the 'clog' things (embedded yeah i got that ! and probably for speed) ... so I see it's not a config option  >:( what if  ...  ??? look what I found  :D http://www.mail-archive.com/support@pfsense.com/msg11745.html well I will see later  8)

I would not think so; I sure don't have a need.  Maybe this setting should be default then?

oops … My bad. Sorry guys. Just so used to pulling from snapshots.

my mistake, i didn't notice that i used the wrong interface for the LAN interface that is why I can't login, I can now login. I have another problem though, I think I have to open a new topic for that.
