The update steamlined the PXE boot options. Previously it tried to PXE boot on a number of interfaces and had to timeout on all of them.

@rcoleman-netgate yeah it has something to do with the latest Windows updates. Which is always ugly. And unpredictable. And frustrating.

Not a hard fix, but it is a manual fix.

Yes, the throughput on the 2100 is limited by the CPU so you will see usage proportionate the rate.

You will see though that the CPU usage is not equal on both CPU cores. So the limit is reached when one core is at 100% use as each NIC has one queue. Thus the total CPU usage may not show 100% at max throughput.

Steve

@stephenw10 sorry i just noticed that , thanks :)
I was sure it's the link to the NIC + mounting kit

-- Edit --

unfortunately none of the EU partners are shipping this product and getting it shipped from US costs more than the product itself :)

@stephenw10 Nice, will do some testing and enable that before thunder season. :)

Thanks, Steve

@gdzbedfz ACS is Auto Channel Selection on the linked page https://support.eero.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000825206-What-advanced-features-do-I-lose-access-to-if-I-put-my-eeros-into-bridge-mode-

Thank you Steve,
i switched from my SG-3100 and am using the modified config.xml.

Now I updated to 02.02.00.00t-uc-14 and finally to 02.02.00.00t-uc-15.

The appliance starts faster compared to the old firmware version.

Hmm, that's weird indeed. I hate that sort of issue. Glad it's not affecting you any longer but let us know if you see anything further.

Steve

Here is my setup, I am using a LAGG bond for dual 10G to my 16-XG:

We have no way to know for sure without testing it. It may work but the chipset has some limitations that restrict SFP module compatibility and that makes it less likely.

Steve

@stephenw10 gotcha. I just posted over there.

Indeed, you've been here almost as long as I have, so you're probably good. 😉

Steve

@luckman212 🤣 🤣 🤣

@stephenw10 Thanks for the clarification and I appreciate the help.

@stephenw10

Thanks... That's Great!

@rcoleman-netgate Yes, we have load shedding here in South Africa and I need the run time

@lightning-snail Creating the interface involves choosing the VLAN.

Off the pf OPT port it would be untagged if you don't make the VLAN first and choose the VLAN in the association. Check the process you follow.

@johnpoz I do know Telus (ISP) does have access down to their equipment level for customer support.
They are required to ask permission to go any further.
I have worked with some of their customer support personnel who had difficulty speaking the same language.
The only thing I know is at this point if I return to default
Interfaces WAN -> Reserved Networks -> Private (Block enabled) then the SG-1100 will not pass traffic through the device. It is baffling as the default setting are only enable after considerable research.
I would like to find a better answer on this.

@gil said in SG-1100 leds:

pity the power LED is uncontrolled

Indeed as it's tied directly to the 12V power supply

Ah, sorry if I misunderstood.

re: network alias, that can be one IP by using a /32 mask.
