Yup the ports are separated by default in the 1100. You should only need to enable DHCP on OPT and add firewall rules.

Ok thank you, I was hoping for fix. But off to ticket land I go! Have a good day!

@stephenw10 I've set a wrong gateway on ipcam. Change it with the ip of netgate finally solved the problem Thanks Andrea

@stephenw10 I tried removing the CMOS battery, and the SSD and I tried plugging in USB with Pfsense Image but still no change And I when I contacted the retailer in December 2023 when my eMMc crashed he told me that I had lost my warranty shy of 3months. Its so strange that the factory warranty is only 1year, that little details got lost on me before I purchased the device.

Hmm, perhaps that specific screen resolution tries to use the desktop format.

The SFP port on the 2100 can only run at 1G so requires a module that can support that. There is little point using a 10G module like that even if it is a dual speed device. Steve

@vividIT said in Issue with Updating XG7100 to 22.05: I checked the "Netgate Coreboot Upgrade" section and I do see an update is available (the current version is: 01.00.00.10 whereas the updated version is 01.00.00.11). Ah then you will need to upgrade at least the package before updating Coreboot. The current version is: 01.00.00.20 However there is an issue with updating it from 23.09.1. I suggest installing 23.05.1, upgrading the Coreboot version from the included package, then upgrading to 23.09.1 from there. Open a ticket with us to get the image(s) and discuss further: https://www.netgate.com/tac-support-request

TAC Lite is for the life of the appliance. Pro or Ent are only for the subscription period.

The fastest way back is probably to reinstall 23.09.1 clean if you have a config backup. You should be able to login at the amnesiac prompt though. admin/pfsense or root/pfsense should work if it's unable to find any login config. Also try admin/root. Otherwise root/<your_password> should work if it can still see that config. Steve

Thanks Stephenw10 & Jarhead for taking time to respond to my post. My issue is resolved now. All I wanted to do was to configure the Netgate 2100. So, the router was not connected on the WAN side. Just to my laptop on the LAN side. It turned out the culprit was my ethernet cable. Ever since the dial up modem era, I have been setting up my home LAN. I had never experienced a bad ethernet cable!! The one I was using now is a new one & fresh out of the box. I never suspected that this cable was the culprit.

What do you see on the serial console? https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/netgate-2100/connect-to-console.html If it's booting as far as just one LED flashing blue it is mostly booting correctly. How did you use the reset button? https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/netgate-2100/factory-reset.html Steve

@stephenw10 said in Netgate hardware for latest Verizon ONTs?: Not an Nbase-T port, so a 2.5G link will not work there? Right, as far as I can tell from the available info it will do 1G or 10G and nothing in between. We have seen some SFP/RJ-45 modules that do work but we can't guaranty that because the C3K SoC does not claim to support them. Got it. Thanks for the clarification.

@John_McNoob said in NetGate 2100 Vlans: Now my ruls look like this Action = pass - Interface = GuestNetworks - Address Family= IPv4 - Protocol = TCP/UDP - Source = GuestNetwork subnets - Destination = GuestNetwork address - Destination Port Range DNS(53) / DNS(53) Action = pass - Interface = GuestNetworks - Address Family= IPv4 - Protocol = Any - Source = GuestNetwork subnets - Destination = Invirt match = Address or Alias = Alias-name Yes, that's fine. Think, I messed some "inverts" up...

@SteveITS Hello Steve, Ok, filled out what I think is the correct request to get an image file, will see what happens. I appreciate in information. After the ports went dead, I lost access to the GUI even though a keyboard and monitor connected to the device was acting normally.

I was able to solve this issue....looks like the IP address didn't get updated by the DDNS client...i found out by calling Verizon FIOS and cross checking the IP address with what Cloudflare (my Domain provider). All is good now...back in the game. Thank you for all of your support and ideas. jim

Yes, pfSense has a startup and shutdown sound that plays if you have a system speaker. Again that's an x86 thing though. There's no connect to the internet sound but it would be trivial to add, on x86!. I came from IPCop myself, and Smoothwall before that.

I would expect it to start after restoring power. It can't see any difference there between that and pulling the power cable. Does it start if you press the power button? Is it connected to a UPS? Steve

I assume it still responds from the LAN side though? And the other device never loses it's IP address? I would try running a packet capture on WAN when it fails to see what's happening. I expect to see pfSense either ARPing for the gateway or trying to renew it's DHCP lease. You should see the DHCP client logging that though.

@GeekyTim said in SG-1100 - Unable to check for updates and unable to see/install packages: Updating pfSense repository catalogue... pkg: No SRV record found for the repo 'pfSense' pkg: An error occured while fetching package This could be simply a DNS issue. Try running: pkg-static -d update That will show more error info.
