@grimson Pretty new to these appliances, when I get an option on a WWW interface it gives the impression it is no big deal and it should just work. Your instructions make it seem more like something that is much more finicky. I do not have much more to tell you about the details, the www interface got to a point it said it was completed successfully and stayed there. I tried to go to the diagnostics -> reboot but at that point it was hung. When I got to the console after it was power cycled, which was the instructions from a Netgate documentation page that did not say use the console to try it. The www interface never came back. The errors are all around .so and .dll files not found and unable to load libraries. I just got a portal account and downloaded the image file, will burn it and reload the unit. See where it stands and then reload the config XML file and hopefully be back where I started. Thanks you for your help.

Everything should be the same as any TAP bridge. You'll just have OPT and LAN on the same switch VLAN.

I should add that the OpenVPN connection is successful and the Tunnel IP address is assigned corectly from the remote server.

44C here... Mine is sitting on my desk on top of 28 port switch and 4 pi's sitting on top of it... Wife keeps the house at 68F

SG-3100 seems a little on the low-end side for an ISP. SG-5100 is probably closer. If it was me I'd probably be looking more at an HA pair of XG-1537s with 4-port expansion cards. Load balancing should work fairly well for them. I'd turn on sticky connections but I would still expect the occasional problem. https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/book/multiwan/load-balancing-and-failover.html#problems-with-load-balancing

Ok, that makes sense now after trying to configure what I wanted and reading that again. I will try to assign multiple VLANs to the to the OPT1 mvneta0 and see if they will all trunk downstream to my Cisco switch

Are you trunking those VLANs out of Eth3-5 to the switches? Can we see your switch config in the XG-7100. Steve

@jhavlat said in SG-1100 router on a stick?: Are you suggesting i'm better off spending $900 on a XG-7100 with 8 ports The XG-7100 is a very nice device tho. -Rico

Hi fjsantos, I'm also interested in adquire a XG-7100 in spain. Could you recommend the partner ? Thanks.

Make sure you have working console access, in case you accidentally remove all network access to the WebUI.

@mke said in SG-4860 - throughput question: I was able to get something close to ideal like 960, 970. I doubt that. Even in perfect "lab" conditions, max thruput on 1Gbe Ethernet (without using jumbo frames) is ~941Mbps. You can read more on that here. I've never seen anything higher than that in my testing. The good news is I have been able to hit 940 very reliably when I run Ookla speedtest on a 1G fiber line w/ Netgate 4860 & now 5100.

Let me know how that WiFi project works out! Always wanted to try this in my 4860.

Not exactly what you were asking for, but check out my script here if you're interested in getting notifications when updates are available.

At the Global Support Desk, we have seen temps closer to lower 70's; with out issues. The Plate on the bottom is the heat sink, as long as there is air flow under the unit, you should be ok.

Hello, Our official policy is listed here: https://www.netgate.com/support/product-lifecycle.html I would encourage you to open a ticket with our sales team fpr any questions you might have, sales@netgate.com(dot)com

First thing to try is a different USB stick and/or a different USB port. The error suggests that it is unable to mount the installation media, so it's likely a problem with that. Might be some combination of that particular memstick+port that FreeBSD doesn't care for on that hardware.

Yeah I run ntp stratum 1 server on pi 3.. And it part of ntp pool both ipv4 and ipv6 Just cost a few bucks for the hat, and some setup time..
