Yup it should appear on a connected device even when not powered. For example in Linux: [71844.486050] usb 1-4.3: new full-speed USB device number 17 using xhci_hcd [71844.587198] usb 1-4.3: New USB device found, idVendor=067b, idProduct=2303, bcdDevice= 4.00 [71844.587212] usb 1-4.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [71844.587218] usb 1-4.3: Product: USB-Serial Controller D [71844.587222] usb 1-4.3: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.

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. Steve

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. PaulDG

@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. https://www.netgate.com/tac-support-request

@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.. :)

Solved! It was operator error. I found my configuration mistake in Putty. Once I got that it was a piece of cake. Thanks for looking

@orangehand Can you access the console and see if there are any errors being shown, or logged? https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/netgate-2100/connect-to-console.html If any disk/eMMC errors: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/index.html#hardware https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/disk-lifetime.html

@robbiett said in Netgate 6100 - Significant Interface Interrupt Rates: Are you trying to help me, as it has become a little unclear? less and less when i read things like above. anyhow, what i tried to convey is that the # of interrupts seems to be in line with what i find "normal" on my sites with a NG6100 device: 300mbit wan bandwidth + unknown amount of inter-vlan traffic: [image: 1682595641543-1e2b7781-b3c2-4d2c-b226-2400cc3a267c-image.png] 1.2gbit wan bandwidth + unknown amount of inter-vlan traffic: [image: 1682595692806-1baee5c6-fa34-49f0-aa63-bb93a43a0cca-image.png] so, for me 70k interrupts does not cause any issues. it could be different for you, but it could also be that you have different issues that are not related to interrupts at all.

@furom said in [Solved] Please help with switch/vlan (802.1q) setup on Netgate 2100: it is blazing fast Nice.

@stephenw10 Thanks, I've updated my support ticket. I don't think I'm still under warranty, but maybe tac can give me advice on whether anything can be done.

@stephenw10 Thank you very much.. This will help me get things going. Have a great day!

learning more: I see node_exporter for armv7: https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/node_exporter/ Does anyone have experience with this? How to get it installed, would it work on the SG3100?

VLAN1 untagged on every port would be fine. What's definietly not fine is having more than one VLAN untagged on any port such as VLAN20 is there.
