@stephenw10 That is right, Suricata FTW ? Glad to know I can same some money and go with a lower tier processor like the 1600af and still meet my end goal! A 5900/5950 would have been expensive. Thanks for confirming.

It's possible but it's hard to recommend. Any separate access point will be better. Steve

@stephenw10 Ok, thanks a lot! I will try with another NIC. Regards, Damián

@sledge do you have something you can run a VM on? I have a VM on my synology ds918+ nas running ubuntu - installed the VM there.. Doesn't use a lot of resources, its only got 1gig of ram assigned to it, ec. [image: 1659460241011-vm.jpg] Its best if its something you can leave running 24/7 like a nas you have anyway. [image: 1659460656367-controller.jpg] Just updated the APs to the latest 6.2.33 beta firmware this morning - the flexHD is just playing with, don't really have a use for it - it was the AP that was over at my son's house til he updated to fiber connection, so he is just using the isp device now.

There might be if it has some issue. Check the logs for anything that looks out of place. Enable Coretemp temperature monitoring if you have not already and make sure it's not running ludicrously hot. It will also log temps in Status > Monitoring. The fact it isn't showing you a crash report after it reboots starts to point to a hardware issue. Steve

hi, here we can find some refurbished Dell EMC SD-WAN Edge 620, for a very interesting price. But i don't know if they are "unlocked", they say in the description that "No DNOS Installed", and "Supports Native Linux OS provided by the VNF partners. Supports KVM or ESXi hypervisors". so do you think that we can easily install pfsense on it ? EDIT: on a deleted message in reddit someone said : Dell EMC SD-WAN Edge 604 is a C3758 CPU It uses the same Motherboard as the VEP-1445. However if you change the OS, it will boot loop. You must install the BIOS from the VEP-1445 onto the SD WAN if you want your own OS. To Flash the BIOS you need to first flash the Dell Recovery OS from the VEP-1445 to the eMMC of the SD-WAN. Once booted to the recovery OS you can then flash BIOS. EDIT 2 : look at that : https://www.etb-tech.com/dell-emc-vep1425-switch6-x-1gb-rj45-2-x-10gb-sfp-sw02212.html Licenses Installed : OPNsense 19.7.10.1 Installed

It's the physical layer part of the NIC. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_layer#PHY I would look on the FreeBSD forums or mailing lists for reports of using that board. Or that CPU and PHY combo. Steve

Turns out the issue was the terminal emulator, was using securecrt which prevented the new page display. Putty worked just fine.

@wkn yes both switch and cables are checked ok

It's hard to recommend anything other that an Intel NIC. I would be looking at something X520 based.

Sure, you can make the script setup the switch in 802.1q mode and use VLANs to access each port individually. Or some combination of ports in different VLANs etc.

I'm not aware of anything specific but there are quite a few hardware variations. Disabling hardware checksum offloading is an easy test with pretty much no drawbacks. Steve

@stephenw10 Yeah, right! I think I'll return it, yes.

Yeah it seems that driver is linked to the kernel in a closer way than others. When we move to a newer FreeBSD version you should get that patch anyway. Steve

@makdonalds said in Pfsense 2.6 on Asus Chromebox 2 problem: FW:MrChromebox-4.14 If it's running that (Coreboot) it's x86. The error sounds similar to some other UEFI console issues we've seen. Steve

Same suggestion; connect re0 to re1 directly as a test and make sure the link comes up at 1G. Steve

Any Intel X500 series NIC should be pretty well supported at this point. I've personally used the X520-DA2 without issues. Steve

@stephenw10 Thanks, saw the loader.conf.local stuff after I wrote that post, thanks for the reminder! I also didn't know you could pkg add - when pkg install realtek-re-kmod didn't work, I just hacked my way forward. Thanks for all the info!

Well try it and see if you have the hardware. The most difficult part of that is probably going to be setting up dual booting with OpenWRT and pfSense. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone do that.

That's the renamed Netasq U30S right? So the same applies here with the unsupported switch? Steve
