@stephenw10 Okay, I will monitor this again when we have higher loads in order to ensure that this is not causing issues. If not, I probably just have to ignore it. 🙈

Thank you for your support!

@michael-christensen Yes, the SFP interfaces on the 6100 support VLANS. I have one 10Gb interface that runs as VLAN only (no untagged traffic).

@alcroth - just thinking you may want to check back on this post here

There are some developments with that link state of "none" you were seeing.

@cloew You're welcome!

You should see the black diamond LED light as well as the green circle:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-1100/io-ports.html#led-patterns

Is it actually passing any traffic?

Try connecting to the serial console to see if it's booting completely:

Open a ticket with us if you have not already:

It's very unlikely. There was a much older bug that presented like that: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8047
It was fixed long ago though and showed a different error:

Incorrect flash image file size. Failed to update OEM section, exiting ...

Steve

Yes, you should upgrade. There's every chance the bug that allowed that invalid ruleset to be created has been fixed in the 4 years since 2.4.4. Along with numerous security fixes!

Steve

Yes, it certainly looks like that but those ports don't necessarily indicate it's actually NATing. Having tested it myself numerous times I would be very surprised to see 800Mbps with NAT and filtering enabled. There are a lot of variables but 500Mbps is around what I expect to see in a local iperf3 test between WAN and LAN.

Steve

When you use a 10/1G SFP+ module you will see 1G is an available setting:

And the speed/duplex field in the gui will reflect that.

@stephenw10
I think you're right.
I've set the Firewalll Optimization to normal, which should've set the time out for "FIN WAIT" to 900 seconds, but it still doesn't kill the state.
So I guess back to the roots to find out what the problem is.

EDIT
Well uhm, somehow it solved my problem automatically without restarting the VPN tunnel. I think the Firewall Optimization worked, need to do more testing though.

No, the 6100/4100 are UEFI only. Blinkboot will not boot a legacy image.

Steve

Thanks.

I apologise it looks like human error. The form was submitted as an SG-1000 but we should have caught that.

I have sent you the correct firmware image for the 1100.

Steve

@jts2045 There's a patch specifically for the 22.05 issues for DEVEL, no need to downgrade that I am aware of.

Yeah, I would not recommend using RAM disks with Snort/Suricata. It can be made to work but they do not expect to see RAM disks.
4GB is enough to run Snort/Suricata and pfBlocker. Though, as stated, it will reduce the maximum throughput.

Steve

You can do it without a reboot:

@senseinyc said in Netgate SG-3100 cannot retrieve packages:

it says on latest version (I know it's not). When I try to install new packages

Also, don't ever install "current" packages on an older pfSense version, so it doesn't try to, say, upgrade PHP or some other dependency.

@michmoor said in 4100 Max - cpu temps:

@keyser Thanks! I appreciate the replies.
So basically an inefficient chip as compared to an i3 but still the overall performance should still be solid and temps shouldnt be an issue?
I feel more at ease now about it.

Well No, not really inefficient. Sure compared to the latest 11th or 12th generation i3, they are less efficient due to Being manufactured on an older silicon die node, But thats evolution for you. Compared to “same age i3’s” i would rather use the Word different. I3’s and higher are made for high single core single performance - achieved by turboing the frequency. This can make cpu performance fairly unpredictable because sometimes its fast, sometimes its in a throttle back State due to heat. The atoms are made for all day predictable performance, and have some optimizations for network/server type workloads that they can do with hardware assist. So they are a fairly good cpu in a “lower power” envelope for this kind of work.

@stephenw10 Thanks Steve. Much appreciated.

Yes, we can do that but going in that direction is usually less of an issue. If you have VLANs configured for the switch ports in the 3100 you can just reassign those interfaces to the discrete NICs in the 6100 when you import it.

@rcoleman-netgate said in Setting up SG2100:

@simon_lefisch said in Setting up SG2100:

mvneta1.xx tells me that all the switch ports are bridged. Is that actually the case? Is there any way to not have them bridged? I know on a Cisco Firepower 1010 you can set the interfaces separately or have them set as Bridged Virtual interfaces (BVI).

They are a single ethernet chip LAGGed as a switch. There is no way to break the LAGG and use them individually.

Worth noting that the only systems this is the case on are:
1100, 2100, 3100 and 7100 models. All others have discrete interfaces.

Thanks for that info, I did not know that. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know this 🙏 😁 🤙
