Do you have SWAP enabled? What size is it if so?

Hmm, that does start to look like a NIC issue then if it fails the same way with the Linux driver.

@chrcoluk said in Topton N100 Reporting 402 MHz:

@binhex01 The servethehome instructions say to use the bios you uploaded inside another ISO, that ISO is to be downloaded from another link (which is now dead), sorry I just checked the readme again and that doesnt use the ISO, so I will try that after I verify I have the right board.

Yes, just to confirm the ISO was only used as a means to extract the utilities required to flash the bios (not the bios itself), this has been done for you and is all included in the zip, so you should be good to go (once verified you have the correct board).

Having confirmed the link speed translation capability with FS I have ordered the media converter and will report back with results, hopefully a successful WAN link at 2.5Gb.

Yup because the modules are now included. The device is recognised by default.

Quick follow up... I swapped the X710-T4L for an X550-T2 a little over 3 months ago and the system has been rock solid ever since. No problems at all. It seems it was either a bad NIC or a driver problem, unfortunately I'm not planning to test with a different X710 any time soon.

You have enabled all three WoL options? They likely need to be enabled at every boot.

Though the one device I have that always works with WoL uses an re NIC and doesn't require anything special in pfSense.

Depends on the log settings and the amount that you have being logged. But there's a good chance the archived system log files still exist. I have logs reaching a lot further back than that.

Hi @stephenw10 - apologies for the delay in responding. I just rebooted the system in the process of upgrading from 24.03 to 24.11, but will keep eye on it to see if the issue reoccurs. So far so good. Thanks again for your help.

@coxhaus even in a closet, which should be ventilated, sound matters. I did it, and had to modify both the pFsense 1U rackmount PC and the Ubiquiti 10Gb fiber/copper switch to quiet them down so I couldn't hear them as loudly through the vents in the door.

Stephen,

I was able to move the interface to the 10G port. Thanks for all of your help and pointing me in the right direction.

Hmm, well that sounds like the Netgear is internally untagging the VLANs from the SSIDs to it's own ports? Which implies it is somehow separating the traffic from the SSIDs at least.

Is it really not possible to have it just pass the tagged traffic?

You could use your switch to put them back on a single linked tagged but that seems like it should be unnecessary.

@interrupt

Have you installed psense on the meraki?

Regards!

How many VLANs do you have? I think the ice driver includes support for hardware VLAN filtering and it has a limited number. It should switch to software filtering but fails.

Steve

It will probably work. The compatibility would all be down to the controller though the drive itself doesn't really matter.

You don't need anything like that for pfSense though. pfSense doesn't require a lot of storage or much by way of storage speed. And you can get an SSD new for less than that anyway.

Steve

What is it connected to? What state does that show for the link? How is it configured?

With a DAC cable you might have no connection options at all in pfSense. It will only connect at 10G autoselect.

You should see speedshift active on there already if the CPU supports it. Pretty sure the default CPU in the M670 does. That's superior to speedstep in almost every way.
