I've bought a second X5000 about 3 months ago but have no time to set ip up, I'll use it as an hardware redundancy, a lot of fun!

I prefer to don't touch a things that works good.. ;)
If it helps I never see a delay or slowing down in ping, speedtest, navigation etc after modify the value..

hmm interesting will have to take a look.

Thanks

Yes, telnet is generally very good for breaking things, which is why it's often hidden ;)

Sorry for the double post.

But to follow up,
going to
Link to Drivers and specs
Then sending an email to there support requesting a login to download the drivers needed.
They will then email you back with a login to their site.
Use this to download the drivers needed.
And use the info in the link proved by Havok to compile and move to the correct location.

@Cry:

You may want to try searching the forum, then you'd have found this on the PXG4BPi. I can find nothing about the PXG61 however, even on Silicom's own site.

Fair enough.  :)

Try setting the hard drive in legacy mode.

Jimp appreciated your info, now I have a idea what to do, thanks Sir  :)

@amitaussie:

Registered Pfsense Users=Min. 4000 (using Local database as Radius may not able to provide the option to users to change their passwords on their own as Local database gives this option)

Hmm, are you going to give your 4000+ users access to the pfSense webGUI to change their passwords on their own?

Anyway, if I understand you correctly, you want to use pfsense's CP to authenticate users, then use Squid/SquidGuard/Sarg/HAVP/Snort to mitigate network threats and log usage. Generally speaking, for a load of ~500 concurrent users I'd split the functionality: run router/firewall on pfsense VM & transparent proxy on another system (note: I understand that virtualized FreeBSD's disk i/o performance is rather problematic).

@balubeto:

As CPU, what you advise me?

Since a 500MHz AMD x86 CPU is reported to be capable of handling over 80Mbps WAN link I suspect that any x86 CPU (except possibly Transmeta) that is no more than about 10 years old should do the job.

Hey Nachtfalke,

You can check the current setting with:
kenv -q | grep hw.igb

I believe the default is 2048 and maxes out at 4096 in pfSense.  I put the config entries I mentioned previously in /boot/loader.conf.local - a reboot will be required.  I think the documentation for the igb driver is here:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=igb&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+8.1-RELEASE

Some of the Intel nics use the em driver, it has similar settings:

Steve

Wireless-N is not currently supported in pfSense.  You need a separate AP (or wifi router cobbled to work as one) to get Wireless-N at the moment.

@bmironb:

See this topic : http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,603.0.html

As I mentioned, I've already read that topic but since it's from 2006, there's no feedback on version 2.0.1 on the same hardware.

2.1 is still beta. No ETA, probably 1-2 months, could be more.

As always, upgrades will be supported and will be as smooth/seamless as possible.

Thanks for the replies folks!  I think i'll look into an old workstation to run my firewall on.

@cmb:

@choppergage:

how much power bills you get if you using dell server?

Depends on your power cost. 2850s and 2950s pull a steady 250 wt, so 6 Kwh/day. Average US power cost is $0.12/Kwh, which would make that $0.72 per day, an average of a bit under $22/month.

That sounds about right, my bill dropped probably around $40/mo when I turned mine off.  Other circumstances went on around the same time that made it hard to tell, but I'm pretty sure your calculation is pretty accurate.

What you have is more than adequate for most networks like you describe. That of course depends, if you need to route 7 Gbps between those servers and your LAN, you don't want a firewall at all, you need a very fast router.
