    @roci yeah any AP would work.. even some old wifi router being used as just an AP, turn off its dhcp server and connect it the network via one of its lan interfaces.

    What I would suggest if your in the market for an AP, is get something your sure you can do vlans with - even if your not doing anything with vlans today, you never know what tomorrow will bring.

    There are many people around here that use the unifi AP.. and while I am very happy with mine - they work great, and have had no issues with them.

    When it comes time to move to AX or beyond that - not sure if will stick with them.. Not a fan that their AX models only have a 1 gig interface.. Unless you get the 6 enterprise model which isn't all that cheap.

    And getting frustrated with lack of tls 1.3 in their controller software, and failure to update the ssh version on their AP that still old version from 2020 still.. This has fallen behind in cipher support, etc. None of these things are show stoppers, still very happy with the AP I have and their performance and features for the price I paid, etc. But little things are starting to add up that might me to look else where when it comes to updating my current AP.. Which is still a way down the road..

    That looks like an eMMC failure. You should open a ticket with us if you have not already:

    The solution and what made this work in the end was me finding a misconfiguration in the SG-2100 switch. I had sadly missed to add the vlan I needed to use to the port I was connected to, therefore not seeing the tags. //

    At least I can decommission the Raspberry-PI doing console logging.

    Wait 👍

    A syslogger is always a nice thing to have. I'm using one : my NAS.
    When things go downhill, chances are great that logging accelerates.
    And when you finally take a look at the "what when who where" you'll notice that the interesting events were just rotated into /dev/null

    @furom said in Problems with Proxmox/vlan-tagging/SG-2100 Switch config:

    I tried a laptop in a switch port for the same VLAN I set for the VM, and although it per definition is getting it untagged,

    The switch port, which is connected to Proxmox is a trunk with tagged VLANs as I understood so far.
    If so and you connect a device to it, you have to configure its NIC for VLAN.

    Can you post your interface settings of pfSense, please?
    Status > Interfaces

    Which interface did you run the packet capture?

    I got it working (!) while composing the answer to you! Thanks a lot!! It turned out to be a misconfiguration on the 2100-switch after all, I had not added the vlan to the port I am using... Having done that it now works as it is supposed to. This feels really great, and I am sorry for all the trouble, but very grateful for such a great forum and to all that has tried (and) helped!

    Thanks !

    Yup it should appear on a connected device even when not powered. For example in Linux:

    It was in the thread title. 😉

    That's also fine as long as you have not installed to eMMC at any time.

    The only problem you might face is that if you install as ZFS with the default pool name (pfSense) to both eMMC and m.2 you can end up mounting root from the wrong drive.

    I can confirm I have seen this issue where even after it has been updated the led continues to flash for an update. The pkg clean pkg update pkg upgrade fixed the issue for me

    @mvikman I'll try in the office next week - they have all the tools, no point in my buying anything ;-)
    In the mean-time, I found a shorter cable in my own stash.

    I will update this thread once I have more parts.

    Thanks everybody so far!

    It doesn't abort, it just hangs, even if you exit the download client and reload, It just sits there at 92-99 %.

    It will complete if you switch your internet source away from the SG-2100, even a cell phone's hot spot completes the download in just a few seconds.

    @jonathanlee said in SG2100 wan speed:

    It should handle this

    Mmmm... it's not going to do 964 Mbps from the Internet. Some of the tests are run without NAT, without firewall, etc. At some point Netgate used to have the test info, and it may still be somewhere but I don't know it offhand.

    Usually I estimate about halfway between the "firewall" speeds on the product page:

    IPERF3 Traffic: 964 Mbps IMIX Traffic: 249 Mbps

    I haven't maxed out a 2100 yet. I just did a rather unscientific test using a speed test from my eero (bridged through pfSense; my PC isn't wired) that got around 65-70% CPU usage at 430 Mbps down mid-day. That's without Suricata/Snort.

    We had a client with an older 2440 model I think it was that hit 95-100% CPU usage, with Suricata enabled, around 350 Mbps as I recall.

    @csardoss I have a 2100 I moved to ZFS I had to open a ticket with TAC to get the firmware emailed to me. As long as your serial number and stuff matches up they will let you have the software for the firewall.

    @morib I did get to review your ENVVAR output and there was a bunch of missing data. I recommend running the commands in my email so that you can verify that it will work on the next release as well.

    @steveits said in Product idea:

    the Max version comes with an m.2. Other models have a guide, the 4100 does not.

    Indeed.. That would be my go-to option..

    New thread? This is pretty far off OP’s question :)

    I'll open a new one, you are correct, but thanks for remembering me about the MAX option.. :)

    @orangehand Can you access the console and see if there are any errors being shown, or logged?
