Hmm, not that then.....

Update: Just wanted to share some great news and close this thread. I contacted TAC as suggested, and I am incredibly impressed with the outcome. Even though my device was well out of warranty and I didn't have an active TAC plan, they decided to replace the router! I am blown away by this level of pro-customer attitude. It's rare to see such dedicated support these days.

I'm not aware of any other cases with ports presenting like that. So I doubt it's a temperature/time issue. There are a lot of 4100s out there that will have seen many more hours at higher temps.

Is this a PPEoE fiber link? The total throughput listed by the FW is clearly marketing fluff based on multiple streams across multiple interfaces. I mean how could a FW/Router with a max of a 10Gbit interface clear 18Gbit LAN to WAN? A faster single core CPU speed will always win out on lightly to single threaded tasks... Question: Why replacing the DYI 10Gbit pfsense with this, unless you are taking the trade off of lower noise; power draw; stability, over performance.

Mmm, it sounds like it's something in the configuration. Likely in a package. If you install clean without restoring the config I assume it boots normally? That would confirm a config issue.

Hmm, that's different to what I have seen then. Might have been a local setting you had I guess.

@dennypage I am very old school, so I think I will stay with Dells.

Hi, sorry for the slow reply. Yes, that is possible - I did not reboot inbetween. It was easier to get rid of Telegraf, as it was not in use anyway.

@GeorgeCZ58 said in N8300: Webinterface hangs with 50x Error / php-fpm.socket Errors after replugging Network Cables: for example VPN Is not a real Interface. A 'VPN' server, or client, goes over a physical, mostly WAN, interface. If the 'main' physical WAN interface goes down, the underlying VPN also goes down. @GeorgeCZ58 said in N8300: Webinterface hangs with 50x Error / php-fpm.socket Errors after replugging Network Cables: combination of PPPOE Nice example Your pfSense WAN needs to be up, and ones it can talk to the other side, a modem probably, pfSense builds an PPPOE connection 'into' it. One's that one is up and running, the VPN client now detects it has a WAN and gateway, and it can start to build into this tunneled PPPOE connection the a (tunneled) VPN connection. Let's agree here : the KIS concept has been thrown overboard. Note says it's bad or so, just 'complicated'. And complicated things tend to be ..... When the WAN physically gets disconnects, everything comes crashes down ..., and has to be rebuild into the right order. All this has nothing to do with "pfSense" or even the 4200 (powerful enough).

@getcom said in Netgate 6100 Max: strange behavior: no SSH or web GUI login: The NVMe is broken after four weeks. It's new ? Warranty. If not, there is the two step solution : 1) order the correct drive, and b) : M.2 NVMe SSD Installation

@keyser thank you!

Well if you set 0/0 as a remote side P2 then the IPSec daemon will grab traffic for all destinations as long as the local side of the P2 matches.

@SteveITS Thanks for the hint., I can't upvote yet

If you edit it first then there's a good chance the result may have some typo. Better to change the details in the converted config after you import it. But going from a device with a switch to one without can generally be done in in gui when you import it. You can simply reassign, for example, mvneta0.4080 to igc3. Unless you need a bunchof external VLANs or VPN interfaces it should be pretty easy. You can always default the config again and have us convert it if you hit some issue doing it yourself.

@KOM i wholeheartedly agree! The 1100/2100 are way underpowered for modern day fiber WAN - and is now effectively way way overpriced. The 1100 is a complete nogo! They are in need of an modern day update, or a hefty pricereduction and a priceattractive 3xxx series introduction (current 2100 pricing) that handles 1Gbe without issues. You also have to remember: the 4200 has more horsepower than the old 6100 - it’s just limited in it scale (x hundreds of users) because of only 4Gb RAM

@SineniF I had an issue with the wan and lampposts, they didn’t connect well. Wan port issue: since I had on old biscuit jack that was lose I replaced it, no luck. I then ran a long cable to the internet router on a known working jack, no luck. I used a long professionally made cable, no luck. The port appeared loose, but my work around was to use an old router to boost the Ethernet signal that worked. The lan port was also finicky, so I made a short cable to connect to my seperate switch, works. I was debating returning it due to having it for only a month, but it works. I dis some checking and was told the SG-1100 was discontinued due to port problems and that the other models had better quality ports from independent sources. I love the setup, but wish the first console menu would include an option to restore from backup config. Concerning the console and usb connection, many usb cords are for charging only and don’t pass data….sucks. But the supplied on works ok and you need to find your port # in windows device manager and set the serial speed to 115200. To connect. Other than that I like it.
