@stephenw10 Yes exactly, that's how it is. I'm using 2.5G and nothing is plugged into the USB ports. As far as I can remember, I even disabled them in the BIOS.

@stephenw10 thank you very much on this...issue solved.

@stephenw10 Thanks. it worked for me

The ixl (X710) Intel card we sell works well. I've also used older X520 based cards successfully.

@stephenw10 Perfect! It works. Thanks!

@stephenw10 Thank you for the quick response. It worked!

@stephenw10: All that makes sense. I had hoped to find something less expensive that this: Netgate 1100 for $209 EnGenius EWS356-FIT AP for $70 iCreatin PSE-480050US PoE injector for $10. I will propose that to my client.

@SteveITS said in Netgate 6100 went to standby: @NeVaR Is that the NUT package? See https://forum.netgate.com/topic/184928/system-shuts-down-when-ups-does-a-self-test. I've not configured NUT only apcupsd. It is nut package. So likely change to NUT package

Hey Guys, I figured it out. The problem was the Intel SFP+ Module (Intel Corp PN: FTLX8571D3BCVIT1). It works with the Ubiquiti SFP+ Module (UACC-OM-MM-10G-D-2). And for the fun I tried a DAC from Cisco (CISCO-TYCO PN: 1-2053783-1) and it also works with 10Gbit. Hope somebody someday finds this helpfull. Thanks for the Help. @stephenw10 When I try to force it into 10Gbit the link goes down with the Intel Module.

I successfully configured the QLogic QLE8152. The issue with "if_qlxge_load="YES"" not working stems from the absence of the if_qlxge.ko module in the pfSense release. My initial solution was to install FreeBSD 14.0 and manually copy the module to boot/kernel. However, this approach failed due to a version mismatch error when attempting to load it with "kldload." To resolve this, I took the following steps on a fresh installation of FreeBSD 14.0: Cloned the FreeBSD source repository from the pfSense GitHub: cd /usr git clone git@github.com:pfsense/FreeBSD-src.git cd FreeBSD-src Switched the branch from master to the version I'm using, in this case, RELENG_2_7_2 git checkout RELENG_2_7_2 Added the qlxge module to the GENERIC configuration file as per the documentation (https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=qlxge&sektion=4&format=html): device qlxge Executed the following commands: make buildkernel After the kernel was built, use make installkernel to copy the new kernel and modules to boot/kernel. Copied if_qlxge.ko to pfSense and added "if_qlxge_load="YES"" to /boot/conf/loader.conf. Rebooted the system. For your convenience, I've attached the module for the 2.7.2 version: if_qlxge.zip. if_qlxge.zip

@VW_Factor said in NBASE-T Support for Intel X550: @stephenw10 Yep. I've opened a support ticket with Netgate and they told me will transfer the TAC Lite to a new hardware ID. Also looks like Intel-X710-T2L is also supported without the hacks. Interesting, I wonder who you got in support. I didn't expect a response today, however I did get a response and.. I was told this morning (after a hardware change) that Netgate would not transfer to the new NDI. I opened a ticket with Netgate support several days ago and they said they will do it as a one time courtesy.

@AlexanderL Good luck.

@SteveITS Great news, thank you.

It's unlikely that will be possible on the 6100, the blinkboot bios doesn't have much customization ability. But perhaps that could be added to future devices.

@InstanceExtension said in PSA: Do not attempt Intel NVM Updates on NICs embedded onto Supermicro MBs: Patrick Kennedy February 7, 2023 At 9:41 am Ok, understood - these 2 interfaces are hanging off OpenFabric rather than PCIe - so not exactly short of bandwidth then! ️

Just to be clear the workstations using a VPN are using the OpenVPN link on firewall? Rather than VPNs from each workstation directly?

@sjstein There are a few, I've used https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/monitoring/graphs/bandwidth-usage.html#bandwidthd. If memory serves it only works on one interface.

@stephenw10 I have the cron job for it set to scrub once a month.

In general those NICs are compatible. If you're running Proxmox though it has to be compatible there.
