I asked you three specific questions and you didn't bother to answer any of them. Sorry, there's not much else I can do for you. Good luck!

@ramosel Sorry you are experiencing these issues. It appears you have hit the same processor issue with both. When Bob posted your warranty info into the ticket, the conversation was not over. He was in the process of setting up the RMA for you. Please allow him to follow up with additional info. A support person may also jump in. Thanks for your patience.

@virgiliomi , i'll contact them. @ivor , thanks for the link.

@dgall Adding a swap file for any Linux or FreeBSD host is easy. add this line to the file /etc/fstab md99 none swap sw,file=/pagefile.bin 0 0 create a blank file of size 1 GB dd if=/dev/zero of=/pagefile.bin bs=4096 count=262144 enable swap (or just reboot as a test): /sbin/swapon -a verify swap is enabled /usr/sbin/swapinfo

ah! I was just asking about the same over here https://forum.netgate.com/topic/133949/sg-3100-lagg-lacp-with-switch/7 By the way, can anyone point to documentation, or clearly explain how the L2 "Loadbalancing" option works? Say I connect my SG3100 via such bond to a switch .. both SG3100 and Switch then have two hosts each connected via 1GBe: A and B to router and C and D to switch. If host A talks to C and D talks to B .. will I be using the full 2GBe bandwidth? Morever, do you think it makes sense to create a 2 port LB or 3 ports? given that the Marvel switch on the SG3100 is 2.5Gb ? Or since the switch can only talk to other 2 GBe (WAN and OPT1), then 2 GBe ports will be enough? Thanks!

After a short sleep in the night i solved the problem myself. Forget to add the members 9T and 10T. :) Thanks all.

The problem causing wan interface to go down is suricata crashing. If I have it in inline mode on either the lan or the wan interface, then any stream that maxes my wan bandwidth for ~30MB or more crashes suricata. Stopping and restarting the process manually restores the WAN gateway. Do others have any experience with the 7100 and running Suricata in inline mode. I know there are warnings about inline mode, and do not know what to expect with Denverton hardware.

I figured it out. My port labeled WAN seems to be bad now. I had 4 spare ports so I used OPT4 and now all is back to normal. I'm guessing that the lightning I have had in my area lately might have caused the issue.

I tried option 3 but it only reset the main login password not the lightsquid password

Make sure your PuTTY serial settings are: Speed/baud 115200 Data bits 8 Stop bits 1 Parity None Flow control XON/XOFF Do not connect power to the device until putty is setup and ready to go. There are a lot of early boot messages that may be helpful. Then, follow the re-image instructions given above.

@radjanoonan This is not a problem. 2.0GB is the maximum recommended swap partition/file. Shrink your pagefile or swap partition size. Or, just get rid of swap all together, as it's normally not needed.

Hi, Max power consumption for XG-7100-1U is 120W while idle should be at 20W. Thanks!

Thanks @TheNarc , I had a hunch that the modem was doing something nasty - I just never think about leased hardware being bad from design. Glad to know I wasn't barking up the wrong tree on this side. Advised to get a replacement from his provider or consider buying his own. And yes, he has always had mild connection issues - he noticed occasional poor call quality on the phone even when it was SW->IPSEC->SW (behind the same modem) before I touched anything, but the sg-1000 seems to have much more trouble with it. And @moikerz - no worries; you'd probably yell at me worse if I told you how many VLANS I am successfully running off of how small a LAGG on the main office LAN (and that's probably not even my worst sin on this setup). Turns out that the IT culture at a construction company doesn't ask for much and is willing to put up with a lot. Of course what they do ask for tends to be either trivially easy or impossible shy of some hacks. Try telling some of the hard-hat side of the company that they are behind too many layers of NAT and let me know how that goes :P And the only reason I mentioned the pings is because I saw SEVERAL over 10ms pings over a single cable, I do recognize that ping is a very poor indicator of connection quality.

I would prob chime in on the linked to arp-watch broken thread as well. And maybe even the redmine listed in that thread. Mine has been rock solid since removing arpwatch..

Hello, i'm new to the SG-3100, but from what I've learned in a few months, the issue is related to FreeBSD on ARM architecture. It's unlikely there will be a fix, as that issue you linked is more than 2 years old. Others have reported that VLAN port assignments do not affect throughput, so I think the limiting factor in this situation is definitely PPPoE.

WAN will certainly function as a DHCP client. That would be the default behavior. I would disconnect the existing wan, power cycle the modem, let it come up and get synced, then connect the 7100 WAN interface.

There are ZERO current wifi tech cards that are supported... Do yourself a favor - get a real AP and place where it will have good coverage. Which 99.99% of the time is nowhere near or in you router.. Or if you can not properly place say a POE AP in the Ceiling - then get some of the mesh AP you plug in around the house/location, etc. if you want your router/firewall/wifi in 1 device then sorry pfsense which runs on freebsd is just not the correct solution..
