    Not in that mode I don't think there is. Unless the modem itself has a mgmt interface you can access. Windows almost certainly does it via an mbim interface and FreeBSD doesn't support that.

    You're workaround also fixed the issue for me!

    The issue on my machine was not because of manual disconnects; it was when probably renewing DHCP every 24h. Sometimes it would not come back online and it would give:

    « CHAT: The modem is not responding to "AT" at ModemCmd: label. »

    Error in log.

    power_off and power_on solved it without having to reboot the whole machine. Seems like for some reason /dev/cuaU0.2 was locked also but it doesn't appear in the logs.

    Unfortunately the bios doesn't have the option to do anything with memory except enable/disable ecc. I may try disabling ecc and see if I can then use some non ecc ram I have around that I know is good.
    Thanks

    @rschell Maybe of any help or just sharing my knowledge: I found that using command stress would give me best results when it comes to testing boost speeds. In combination with using cpuset for targeting specific cores (P-cores and/or E-cores).

    Installing stress:

    pkg install stress rehash

    Command cpuset -l 0-3 stress -c 4 would (if hyper-threading is enabled) stress both P-cores with 4 worker processes.

    @stephenw10

    Good morning..

    No pcaps, and logs are probably still on the system.

    We've had to replace the system. We've changed network card after network card, and at best this has to be static electricity damage to the motherboard. On changing network cards, no matter how many times we applied the configuration, no dice. On reboot, it's back to square one. Put back in old network cards, no problem except now even though with hardware offloading off, by next day the network is crawling to a stop, so enough milling around, We're beating a dead horse at this point. Will be ordering Netgate replacement, but in meantime, we're running CE on VM. So, I'm not sure what kind of spike or transient got through, but now it appears two switches at other locations are affected as well.

    If you need to actually route 25Gbps you have a much better chance of achieving that using TNSR. You'll notice how everyone on that other thread was surprised the OP there managed it using pfSense.

    Yes, if you used VLANs over a single 25G link you would need to connect that to a 25G capable switch to separate it for hosts on each.

    so yeah, problem with the ftdi etc adapters are, as they are not "as cheaply made" as the CH340's, the plugs are not easily disassembled, my serial side is just 2 plasic halves that i was able to easily disassemble to resolder some pins to diffrent ones (to make it compatible with the APC pinout without the need for any special adapter or cable, basically adding a USB port to my apc by directly plugging the serial adapter into it)
    thats not possible to archive using higher quality adapters where the plug is sealed in some kind of rubber all around.

    @osvaldompf Which hardware specifically is broken? Are you asking to take the storage device out of the dead one and add it to a new one? If so it might work but you might find it easier to build a new one, mount the old drive in it (will require some leg work on your own as it's not actually supported in software) and collecting the config.xml file from the old drive and importing it into the new one.

    If the hardware is vastly different it is likely the system will either not boot at all or boot and be unstable.

    That looks normal. It's the interrupt rate that counts and none of those are very high. The total interrupts just increase with uptime/traffic.

    The 1.5Gbps restriction here is not the NIC. If the advertisement values are set it will link at 2.5 or 5G and pass that if the system is capable. There are several other threads reporting success:

    Where does it appear to stop booting? Does it actually not boot or just stop writing to the console?
