    @mwatch Hi All. I just completed a new HA install on two 8300 MAX boxes, and I’ll hand it to Netgate (and its OEM) - these are REALLY REALLY nice boxes compared to any of the former higher-end appliances. For the first time the look, feel and hardware really has become proper enterprise grade. Very solid build, excellent design, two proper power supplies and enough interfaces by default really knocks it out of the park. It’s not cheap, but it is also in intirely different leagues than the 1537/1541 before it.

Frustration understood. :) I suggest creating a new thread per issue so it's easier for people to notice. The forum is pretty active with several dev/admin/support folks from Netgate also, especially in this Netgate hardware forum.

    Great! I see what you’ve set up. I’m using custom hardware, and in addition, I’ve taken the following steps for the configuration and works!: 1- Add the following lines to your snmpd.conf file (Multiples CPU cores): extend temp_cpu /bin/sh -c "/sbin/sysctl -n dev.cpu.0.temperature | tr -d 'C' | tr -d '\n'" extend temp_cpu /bin/sh -c "/sbin/sysctl -n dev.cpu.1.temperature | tr -d 'C' | tr -d '\n'" extend temp_cpu /bin/sh -c "/sbin/sysctl -n dev.cpu.2.temperature | tr -d 'C' | tr -d '\n'" extend temp_cpu /bin/sh -c "/sbin/sysctl -n dev.cpu.3.temperature | tr -d 'C' | tr -d '\n'" extend temp_cpu /bin/sh -c "/sbin/sysctl -n dev.cpu.4.temperature | tr -d 'C' | tr -d '\n'" extend temp_cpu /bin/sh -c "/sbin/sysctl -n dev.cpu.5.temperature | tr -d 'C' | tr -d '\n'" extend temp_cpu /bin/sh -c "/sbin/sysctl -n dev.cpu.6.temperature | tr -d 'C' | tr -d '\n'" extend temp_cpu /bin/sh -c "/sbin/sysctl -n dev.cpu.7.temperature | tr -d 'C' | tr -d '\n'" [image: 1761225286560-6590abd6-87e7-4927-a972-e15eab52c07f-image-resized.png] 2- Verify the return string information. command: snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull Result: NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu0" = STRING: 39.0 NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu1" = STRING: 40.0 NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu2" = STRING: 37.0 NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu3" = STRING: 38.0 NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu4" = STRING: 37.0 NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu5" = STRING: 38.0 NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu6" = STRING: 41.0 NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu7" = STRING: 42.0 [image: 1761225619366-c97be0c5-31dd-4554-a4c7-27d0094a167d-image.png] 3- Get the OID value corresponding to each individual CPU core. Command: snmptranslate -On 'NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."temp_cpu0"' Result: .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.1.3.2.3.1.2.9.116.101.109.112.95.99.112.117.48 [image: 1761225732181-bfc00e8f-cc48-4f31-a8d4-d53c24a88ef9-image.png] Repeat for each CPU Core to have 08 OIDs. On the PRTG side, perform the following steps: 1- Add SNMP Custom Advanced [image: 1761226218994-495d657f-8e6f-4b74-81e1-543f4dd37f29-image.png] 2- Fill up the information for each CPU: Sensor Type: SNMP Custom Advanced (supports up to 10 channels) Channel 1: Name CPU0, OID = numeric for "temp_cpu0", Unit = °C, Value Type = Float/Gauge Channel 2: Name CPU1, OID = numeric for "temp_cpu1", Unit = °C, Value Type = Float/Gauge … up to CPU7 [image: 1761226386844-db1ddb5b-ac5d-4d29-ad03-0c4b8b22c143-image.png] 3- The graph is populated for each CPU core.

    I wasn't personally involved in that, I'll see what I get for you. But, yes, almost certainly CPU limited for any pf or VPN testing.

    The installer should work on either port but some USB memsticks will only work in one or the other. The uboot USB stack doesn't seem to handle fallback very well. Yes, using a USB3 stick as the target device should be better in terms of boot time. In reality it doesn't make much difference in my experience. Other than at boot.

    Yup that. The 7100 has some specific config complications because of the internal switch. But TAC can convert if for you so it will import into the 4200 directly.

    Yes, if you have RAM disks enabled (not default) then you will lose any logs that have not been backed up if the unit spontaneously reboots. If it loses power for example.

    It pretty much has to be reporting incorrectly there since that's what the gui uses but it would be good to confirm.

    Yup the slot is B-Keyed to allow fitting wifi devices. Most NVMe devices are M-Keyed only. So you need an NVMe drive that is M+B Keyed to fit. You could potentially use a B-Keyed NVMe drive but I've never seen one of those.

    @w0w Thanks very much for the details/info. I will look through it and see if they say anything about mitigation. It does not matter whose fault it is. It still reflects badly on Netgate, too.

    If you think ACB was configured I can check for recent backups if you send me the NDI of the failed 1100 in chat.

    Tangentially, Proxmox has a few ways to assist with that. See https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-sysadmin.html#network_pin_naming_scheme_version and the next few sections in the document.

    Just as a followup, I have been unable to solve this issue, and it happens with two different 2100’s. So the workaround for now is to use mvneta0 as the uplink to the switch carrying multiple VLANs in a 802.1q trunk (leaves the builtin 5 port switch out of the inter VALN routing). At some point I will try with another managed switch model to see if it’s the specific Switch/SG-2100 combination only, or a general issue.
