@SteveITS said in Replacement for SG 3100:

@wgstarks The 2100 is a neat little device but is a bit CPU limited. If you thought there was any possibility of upgrading that download speed I would go with the 4100.

I have fiber all around me but it’s unlikely to be available to me since my house is about half a mile from the highway. It cost me a small fortune to get the cable installed. I could upgrade my cable to a 1G plan but I doubt I will.

The P2P I assume is running on your PC not the router?

It’s running on an unRAID server.

OTOH the 3100 won't stop working and per that other thread v23.09 will support it, and there's a chance they might release something else in the next 6 months.

That’s great and I hadn’t thought it through all the way. Might wait to see if Netgate releases new hardware (seen a couple of hints) or maybe has a Black Friday special.

FWIW I don't think Netgate planned on not supporting it either, the issue is FreeBSD stopped developing 32 bit processors.

Yeah, I get that this wasn’t really on Netgate.

Thanks for the advice.

I don’t know if crash is the right wording now. Looks like on isp / wan ip change it can’t recover and gets hung.

It's not an error it's a warning and it's expected on the 2100.
I'm not aware of any way to suppress it but let me see...

@stephenw10
Perfect. Thank you very much.

It can't find the loader file. If you have a backup config the fastest way to get back up from that is to re-install the firmware clean and restore.
Open a ticket to get the recovery image: https://www.netgate.com/tac-support-request

ok got it and thank you for your reply.
No VLANs so Im good.
Thanks for making this easy

After another reset I was able to finally set up the device. Indeed it did seem to have some configuration problem with DHCP. But its working now!

We need actual port numbers of some sort in pfSense at least because the order is not what might be expected given the NIC naming.

It's very unlikely we would change it on something that has been released but all input is welcome for future products.

I have a 6100 in my lab and it definitely supports VLANs just fine, I have a ton of them in my setup, so nothing to worry about there.

OK just to be clear you mean the 10G SFP ports (ix0 and ix1)?

What are they linked as?

Does the DHCP service actually stop? Are there errors logged?

@netboy Maybe netgate can "disable" or not show the "thermal sensor" widget for netgate 2100 - why show something which is not applicable to the hardware....

Quite possible that your terminal program isn't actually sending F2 when you press F2.

If you're using something like PuTTY, make sure that under settings Terminal > Keyboard you set the function keys to Xterm R6. Other terminal applications may have similar settings. If that particular setting doesn't work, try another one, or try a different application to access the console.

You might also be able to plug in a USB keyboard and press F2 on that.

Mmm, be really nice to have one that is supported by NUT.

Hi Ryan, I just took delivery of one of the first dutch SG-2100 128GB units. It's purring along at < 3% user util and so far no issues.

Thanks,

@stephenw10

Got it working. Was able to find this little USB C docking station in the corner that had an RJ45. Thanks for all the help!

Ah, nice. That's a good result then. Yes they must be using some thing out of band for the IP phone, which is good. 👍

Ah, yes that would do it! 😉

Ok, great let me see what we can come up with....

@stephenw10 Thank you. I will do this early in the morning or over the weekend.

Hmm, the i350 NIC is kinda surprising but there are a number of NICs that present like that. The only NICs we can ensure will work are those we sell. So if you need 4 1G ports the AOC-SGP-i4 does work.
