It would be interesting to see the output from: [23.05.1-RELEASE][root@8200-2.stevew.lan]/root: sysctl -a | grep fw_version dev.qat.0.fw_version: 4.18.0 dev.ix.3.fw_version: eTrack 0x80000889 dev.ix.2.fw_version: eTrack 0x80000889 dev.ix.1.fw_version: eTrack 0x8000084b PHY FW V65535 dev.ix.0.fw_version: eTrack 0x8000084b PHY FW V65535 If running some other OS did change anything I'd expect it to show there.

@stephenw10 Thank you. I was thinking of getting RJ45 SFP+ but hearing from the forum it can get very hot and may require rebooting. I will stick with the dac solution. It is addition cost but better have cool equipment than a hot one.

Send me the NDI in chat and I'll check what it is in our records.

@stephenw10 Hello, Yes, it's the Netgate 6100... The response (I open a ticket) is to try a firmware reinstall via a memorystick and the serial interface. I will try that ASAP with the firmware provided by your colleague via your nextcloud infrastructure. Regards

@rcoleman-netgate Yep. I got the red light RMA in just under the wire, updated install image within the last 6 months. So I'm going on the quality of the hardware (2440, 2100, 5100, 4100) and the overall support when needed. I'm not trying to sound like a "fanboi" or whatever the young kids say nowdays, but give yourself a pat on the back.

Nope if you're using a PPPoE WAN connection you cannot use the switch on WAN directly. What you can do here depends on how your ISP is providing the /29 to you. Since it looks like you're in the UK I'd guess they are providing the /29 dircetly on the PPPoE and not routing it via some other IP? If so that limits what can be done.

Yes, you will be able to import the config directly. The interfaces are all the same. Steve

@SquareJ looks like its defective port seen it happen on different switches and firewalls

@stephenw10 Success! For the record, I used the following to format the M.2 SSD/SCSCI: trim /dev/ada0 gpart create -s GPT ada0 gpart show ada0 Per your guidance I modified the bootcmd env var in Marvell (adding "run scsiboot"): setenv bootcmd 'run setLED; run mmcboot; run scsiboot; run usbboot; run net;' I then ran "run usbboot" to kick off my inserted usb thumb drive to install the firmware onto the M.2. I left my usb drive in after reboot & it picked up the config.xml & correctly reconfigured my firewall, per the documentation. Thanks, Paul

I'm pretty sure that Mikrotik platform will be using some hardware offloading to pass traffic without having to process each packet. You can see that by how much slower it is with only 25 IP filtering rules. I'm assuming the 'simple rules' that do not slow throughput are handled in the offloaded path but anything more complex cannot be. There are quite a few devices that behave like that. Big numbers until you try to do anything complex when throughput tanks. The 1100, like anything running pfSense, uses pf for all filtering. No hardware ACLs. Steve

[image: 1692110647027-taps_fl001.png] You should check out the new hardware for sale.

The same image can be used across any similar devices. But the images for each device type you have are different. You will need 3 recovery images. Steve

It could be a power surge. I've only ever seen it in person on a device with a cell modem fitted. So potentially that could be due to emissions from the modem or power draw to it. I've only ever seen it on one device here though.

FYI, opened up a ticket. Received instructions on how to reinstall firmware. Support is very fast and efficient.

Normally though if you spoof the MAC it appears as a separate line in the ifconfig output. It always reports the hardware MAC in addition. But, yes, certainly worth considering. If I could replicate this myself it would be a lot easier!

@buggz said in Netgate 4100 - Can you "bond" the two WAN ports?: Bummer... But you can load balance. What that won't get you is a single stream download at 2Gbps, but it could get you two different connections going at 1Gbps each.

I had forgotten to download uart bridge drivers, thanks for your help

@rcoleman-netgate said in Upgrading an EOL Netgate SG-2440: Adding a mSATA drive is recommended, but these systems also have a tendency to fail if they're older C2000 Atom CPUs so your mileage may vary long-term on the system's lifespan. Yep. My SG2440 is actually a "red light RMA that was just barely under warranty", so it's sitting in the closet as a spare, but it's behind a 5100 in the rotation, with a 4100 in service.

Don't look now but your Synology Box has been captured by a UFO!!! Phizix The UFOs are attacking my switch: [image: 1691252595240-img_2123-resized.jpeg] 🛸 Love your XG switch. I have four UniFi 6 Enterprise UFOs connected at 2.5Gb on my Enterprise 48! I'm out of town right now, so I can't do the AR thing, so here's an older one before I switched to pfBlockerNG!
