I know that FreeBSD was updated.

I got the connection up and running but i have to do it every time i reboot the firewall. Maybe i will try a cronscript or has anybody a better idea?

More and more people use LTE and UMTS connection so i think the support should get a lot better.

Please Update the list of modemds for 2.2.

depends on your price point.

the amd a4 and celeron j are cheap and will do the job without issue

if you need more power, you are looking towards an i3, atom c2000 series, etc

i would reccomend the amd setup with an ebay intel dual nic @ pcie

@rudyrednose:

Just got a 48-port gigabit Brocade GS648P from eBay.

Professional stuff, Cisco level, L3 capable, at an amazing $65 !!!
The Brocade CLI is very similar to Cisco's.

Best thing is that I am already familiar with those, as they are the same model as the ones we use at work  ;D

Cheers.

Nice indeed, but you forgot to mention the 20 USD shipping.
And btw, those switches seem to draw quite some power.

Cheers.

Is there any 'simple' testing I can do with just a laptop?

Yeah test it right out! But before open it and se  insite for a bootmedium
and for RAM inside. Lanner FW-7541 Website
In the case that some things are not there you need only;
1 x 4 GB RAM SODIMM - DDR3 667/800 MHz
1 x Industrial CF Card 4 GB
and perhaps a console cable from Cisco

And perhaps if WiFI is needed a UBNT SR71-E or a Compex card.
Under the link you will be able to see what the D means in the product name.

The celeron j, even with aes-ni, will devour ipsec at those speeds. You do not need a add-in card. I would go 4-8gb ram though. Not much more.

Yeah, that's an old screenshot. Pretty sure they're all full install, both eMMc and SSD. I haven't actually seen one of these IRL though. Checking…...

Edit: Confirmed

Ah! Well you have a fairly unusual requirement then. Not unique though. Ask Phil who operates a network of mostly solar powered pfSense boxes. Most of them ALIX boxes. You can probably find one second hand for very little and they use <5W.

Steve

Thank you.  That was exactly what I was looking for. :D

You may have an option for USB tethering in the device gui. The one I have (E5220) only appears as an ethernet device once it's turned on.
Plug it in, turn it on. Give us the lines that appear in the system log when you do that.

Steve

Thanks. Thought I tried that, but it may have been 38400.  Honestly when I found it already had an IP, I dumped the console cable… :)

Make sure the NICs at both ends of the link (if you're connecting directly) are set to 'auto-negotiate' for speed and duplex and that the negotiation is taking place correctly. If one end isn't it could be falling back to some lesser type like 10Mbps half-duplex. Flow control may also be a factor.

@Heimire:

I was just looking for some suggestions on what people have used.

Again, thanks…

@dennypage:

Will it continue to be necessary and/or recommended to use a custom URL?

We point each platform to a custom URL so you get a customized update for that platform. Leave it to its default. There are certain customizations you'll lose otherwise, like no longer having the correct default config if you reset to factory defaults.

@dennypage:

If so, will there be a corresponding URL for beta testing?

There aren't available pre-release updates for those available at this time. You can manual or auto update to stock snapshot builds, then upgrade later via auto-update to the platform specific stable release, if it's a dev/testing/hacking box.

Thank you everyone for your assistance.
Just got off the phone with pfsense and after board resets, it appears that I have a faulty
board. They issued and RMA and I am returning it for a replacement.
Great people great response and service. This is a new system and board and faulty boards are very rare, so unfortunately I got a lemon. Shit happens !

With respect to the pe-configured SG-4860 or any other for that matter, there is NO reason to connect through the serial console port. The appliance has a DHCP server pre-configured and should provide an IP address when one connects to the LAN port.

(BTW, the console cable is a standard USB to Mini-USB cable nothing fancy. The UART chip contains the serial interface with the proper configuration which does NOT require a NULL MODEM cable. That information in the documentation is a remnant of older systems.)

I must note that both SSD and SYSTEM LEDs were solid RED which was an indicator that there was an issue with the board. The engineer at pfsense had me do a jumper change and board reset but without success. So back it goes to Austin and will impatiently await the replacement.

thanks again for all your help.

@Phishfry:

I see from the pdf yours has 1M hrs/mtbf. The endurance charts shows it all. Not a bad choice.
If running Full you need to tune.

OK.

Thanks a lot.

From what I understand from reading up on the forum, Rangeley pushes accelerated VPN into the hundreds of megabits already.

But this is also hard pending on which model is soldered on the board.
At this days the Rangeley SoC is really rocking if the OS on it is using
the AES-NI instructions and for sure for vpn tasks.

QuickAssist would take this into the tens of gigabits, but I really don't foresee to have anything more than a 1Gbps fiber connection for the next 10 years or so.

But this is only the half of the truth about Intel QuickAssist, it would be also speeding up
tasks that are profit from that, likes Snort, Suricata, OpenDPI and others.

That's why I think Rangeley is too high end for my needs, and that personally makes it hard to justify the price for it.

For sure that is a very new platform and many Vendors are bringing out of them now
and there fore the prices are often very high at the beginning.

I'm moving to 500/500 fiber this summer, and want to take full advantage of it with a new pfSense setup! I'm aware that many 'lower' end systems are well capable of routing 500Mbps, but I'm a heavy VPN user (both IPsec as OpenVPN) and thus require a AES-NI

For sure I would have a look for something between 2 core / 2 GB RAM and 8 core / 8 GB RAM
likes 4 core / 4 GB would fitting your needs at best as I see it right.  ;)

capable system in order to maximize VPN bandwith.

Installing this card and you will be happy too, but the QuickAssist and AES-NI
I would prefer at this days and the card is also able to install on top, for sure!  ;D

Hello kroberts,

perhaps some informations interesting for you?
New Boards with build in Dual 10 GbE or SFP+

Tyan S5530 ASRock Rack D1540D4X Supermicro X10SDV-TLN4F and X10SDV-F

Do you know HotLave?
They are producing 1 GB, 10 GB and 40 GB Intel based NICs!

HotLava MultiPort NICs

One tip of me by side to you, build with the D-1500 based boards a pfSense based
firewall and with the Xeon E3 a NAS or Server, but please don´t connect the
pfSense based firewall direct over 10 GBit/s this will be not the best effort for the
throughput, you will be better going with a Infinion SX2 card, that can be connected
directly from the pfSense based firewall to the NAS and it will be serving more speed
and throughout as the 10 GBit/s SFP+ option as I see it right.

We'll likely be moving to Xeon-D (Supermicro at first, something better to follow).

All the HotLava 10Gbps NICs appear to be based on Intel 82599ES.  These work, but don't work as well as Fortville (Intel) or T5 (Chelsio).

I use a i350-t4 without issue on 2.1\2.2

@Derelict:

They want to be on the phone (Google Voice or Skype) and be able to walk around their home. They don't need to be able to drive down the street but they should be able to get up and walk away from the AP without a drop in signal.

Someone needs to understand the physics of radio frequency energy.

Or all wave functions.  Light and audio also follow an inverse law.

I guess i gave up early on my UE0 devices. So it works fine as cuaU2. I may have to re-test some other modules now. Thanks for the heads up. Did require the +cfun=1 tip. I wonder if i could get my Novatel E371 going that way. It is LTE so i will try that next. It shows ue0 now.
Thanks
