    @gob said in What happens when power restored?: Hi I have a couple of Netgate SG-4860 appliances set up as a HA pair in a remote overseas office. These don't happen to be the rack-mount 1U model of the SG-4860, right? You do mention HA pair, and I thought those were only the rack mount models. I've got one of those rack mount units, and on the back side, there is definitely a power switch and what I'm assuming is a reset/reboot button. I think mine does, in fact, reboot after a complete power outage (after the UPS battery runs out of juice), but I'm not too sure. Jeff

    This sucks. I've had 40% (4 of 10) of my VK-T40E's fail so far. My friend's SG-2220 just died too. All of the sub $1K hardware seems to have a low MTBF.

    Looking through more comments on that PR, it looks like for some people still seeing the issue it was actually a clock/timekeeping problem and not a bug. Maybe it hasn't hit pfSense because nobody is using that specific hardware or setup that had the clock issue.

    On paper that makes sense. In the real world, it doesn't. People still unplug equipment. They see an outlet and yank out whatever's in it so they can charge their iPhone. They don't care if that plug is attached to a huge important-looking box with LEDs and a big battery icon—they gotta check their Instagram! So, it's still best to have a layered approach. Since installing ZFS on our firewalls that support it, I've not had a single issue with filesystem corruption. With UFS it was happening everty couple of months at some locations.

    @jimp said in SG-3100, Wi-Fi options or not?: I would say it's technically possible in a pinch, but a firewall case is generally a bad place to put a radio. Say no more. If you say it's not a great idea, that's enough for me! I'll stick to the tried and true. But, I still cross my fingers and hope that one day there will be a decent option here. If not for the cost savings, then simply for the smaller footprint and less things to stick on the wall...

    Thanks for that Derelict. I guess I will just have to wait until the new server arrives and see what happens then. Appreciate your help.

    I thought this issue had resolved itself but looks like I was wrong. Just had another unexpected reboot. Nothing in the logs and nothing captured via serial console messages.

    Re: SG-3100 GUI Broken Thanks @JeGr and @jimp for the suggestions. Looks like I had been on 2.4.3 prior to installing pfBlock. Ended up doing the recovery, back running again.

    Hi Mate. Thanks for your response. I don't think so , the wan is set up statically and supplied by a data centre. The connection will be coming from another firewall VLAN. When we plugged the older pfsense in with the same config no issues were occurring. Just trying to look through the logs using shell due to the fact they only show a certain time in the GUI. Thanks

    @jimp Thank you -- your answer here and earlier makes sense, particularly that direct plugins of non-switch devices on the OPT ports is not the same as plugging in a switch that is prepared to manage the assigned VLAN segment. There is no further action necessary on this thread. Thank you for your time and attention here!

    That looks fine. The APs are expecting VLAN 8 tagged? Did you add firewall rules to the lagg0.8 interface on pfSense?

    If the unit replaced an older supported device then the support crew will need to update your records to point to the new device. Drop them a line at https://go.netgate.com and include the device ID from your new unit.

    @chrismacmahon thanks again for the recommendation. Though I will be without it for a little while support already messaged me back. I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.
