@stephenw10 i have strange fetish for this kind of devices,i'd like to get my hands on them,but still,i'll have to use some bigger pc-like or passive and keep those for tinker purposes...
i didn't even installed windows 10/11 there yet..just for fun

addon card eats about 2.5W idle unconnected.i'm now down to ~23.8W

OK, Thanks Stephen

It would for that Cron job but you could run it more often or on a different day etc.

You shouldn't need to load a driver for those, it's in kernel:

[25.03-BETA][admin@4200.stevew.lan]/root: kldstat -v | grep mlx 586 mlx4en 585 mlx4 587 pci/lkpi_mlx5_core_pci_table 584 pci/lkpi_mlx4_pci_table 233 pci/mlx 232 mlx/mlxd

BTW that ALTQ setting only applies to hn(4) NICs, so only in Hyper-V or Azure.

Just go to Interfaces > Assign and set LAN to a different NIC. But I'd want to have some other way to access the firewall first so you can revert the change if you need to. The direct console for example.

@stephenw10 yea I only got 10G NICs. I tested on the host itself for today to get the setup right. Tomorrow I am going to test with my 2 Servers which are capable of doing 10G via SFP+

@patient0 Once it hits what it shows in the picture there's zero response from they keyboard. That's just my terminal monitor and keyboard that I connect to my hypervisor and pfSense box if I need direct access.

@Sergei_Shablovsky said in Screen fonts & mode in local terminal issue:

Already have in /etc/loader.conf

:charset=UTF-8:
:lang=en_US.UTF-8:
:setenv=LC_COLLATE=C:
:umask=022:

But unsuccessfully, - the result You able to see above….

Those are not loader.conf configuration directives, those look like /etc/login.conf configuration. (And read the note at the top of that file, especially the part where you have to run cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf after any edits)

It does seem like you have some sort of issue/mismatch with UTF-8 handling somewhere, but it's hard to say exactly where. I have no issues with UTF-8 in my terminals over serial or SSH but I have no idea what that KVM setup might be doing.

Hi! At the moment, the average traffic is around 4 Gbps

That's a fun thread. 😁

Normally not but if you're relying on NAT reflection that would be via the firewall in both directions. Both devices on the LAN would see the traffic as via the LAN interface.

I was going to go with EIG44ET but then I discovered the i350-T4 V2 which is newer than the i340.

@sleleeeee

Welcome!

I use an external LTE modem for failover WAN. Makes it transparent to pfSense.

Depending which country and provider.

Resolved - Thanks to Netgate support - was able to use console to do a factory reset & then able to login with default credentials.

@stephenw10 thanks for the catch. fixed the post. i did manage to find another url hosting the rom but it seems ive misplaced it. if i ever come across it in my notes ill add it to the thread.

I know this is an old thread but for anyone attempting this in 2025 this might help. See the last post I made in this thread. https://forum.netgate.com/topic/197131/can-someone-help-me-with-the-bios-mod-on-really-old-hardware-watchguard-xtm-5

setenv bootcmd 'setLED; run emmcboot;'

You need another 'run' in there like:
setenv bootcmd 'run setLED; run emmcboot;'

@Gertjan I am attempting to offload the encryption to the SafeXcel chip, I have had it running in the past with OpenVPN again I am also testing use of it with squid and my swap partition, but of those cause the interrupts to be incremented, but all the sudden OpenVPN will not use the SafeXcel chip anymore and it did with this version a couple months ago. Something is different as it should utilize it like it did in the past. I originally thought it could only be used by one component, that could be fstab file and use of .eli to encrypt the swap and or using it with squid for acceleration of ssl certificates, but they both work, all the sudden OpenVPN won’t increment the counters anymore. It’s weird because from what I am told OpenVPN should do this automatically, the new versions of software remove use of hardware crypto and OpenVPN but I can’t even run tests it acts like the chip does not load. That’s where it has confusion it should still see the counters increment in the system but it does not. It does drastically improve performance with the “ssl engine” directive in squid. Again not many people use .eli at the end of the swap config in fstab. So it’s kind of a trial and error thing. Goal faster vpn access to my private NAS.
