@stephenw10 @keyser @stephenw10 Thank you all for your reply. I did manage to get the cheap alternative power adapter with the same voltage and ampere, device had the same behaviour as with the original power adapter. Am now guessing it's the device. Thank you again. Good Day. Sway

@luckman212 said in Netgate 6100 - devd firing an event on power button press?: Any chance that in the future we could get the power button to fire notify events to devd upon a momentary press (< 3s)? Since the button is only connected to the uc it would require a code update for the controller and that requires reflashing the SPI chip. It have to be a really good reason! Steve

@stephenw10 Thanks, got the right file for installation! Regards, Norbert

@pfimprudence sorry to revist this old thread but did you ever have issues with the 2.0a BIOS you installed from Super Micro? I see now there is a version 2.3 on Super Micros site. Did you happen to try that? Also do you happen to get the 1.3 version from Netgate and can share? We have the version 1.2c from 2017 and I have not been able to get any official updates from Netgate team. We need to replace the M.2 SSD on our 1537 and I imagine that there is better support for current devices including NVMe with the newer BIOS. Not to mention any security flaws on Intel Xeon CPU that might have been fixed. (Really annoying there is no BIOS changelog anywhere..) Thanks!

Ah, there we go that's about what I'd expect to see. One of the interesting things about iperf is that it's deliberately designed to be single threaded. Running multiple parallel streams using the '-P' switch does not change that, you are still running one iperf process. But, as you already tried, that means you can run it multiple times to test combinations of CPU cores and streams. You still see a better result using -P because the firewall and the NICs can use multiple queues and therefore CPU cores to move that traffic. Steve

@stephenw10 said in SG-1100 factory reset no GUI access no console access: Nope the cable has always been standard in everything we've shipped. The USB-serial chip is on-board and the cable simply connects to it. I decided to have some fun and dug up my "USB cable box", took out four micro USB cables and tested all of them on SG-1100 console compatibility. Each cable passed that test, confirming the standard (data) cables are okay

I don't think there is a public diagram like that. Let me see what I can find though. The NICs are the 4 Intel NICs from the C3558 SoC using the ix(4) driver and 4 Intel i225 NICs using the igc(4) driver. Steve

Yeah, the default settings should work fine there. You can uncheck hn ALTQ support since there are no hn NICs in the 2100. It doesn't make any difference though. Steve

Since there is no SWAP on the 1100 that is actually telling you it's out of memory. Look for processes using a low of RAM in the list. Check the memory usage on the dashboard. Steve

Yes, that's true, ZFS will not be an option on the 32 bit ARM platforms. Steve

@stephenw10 apologies accepted, much appreciated.

Mmm, you might try enabling verbose boot and see if it shows you anything different when you reboot or shutdown with the card in.

The SoC used on the 2100 and 1100 does not have a hardware temperature sensor we can read in pfSense. That's not something that applies to all ARM devices. The 3100 does have a sensor and it's selected automatically. Steve

@tappy Only took three tries for me to get a clean file system, but went for four just for good luck. Thanks for the hint!

You very well may have a hardware issue, but one thing you can do for testing and to eliminate other possibilities is to remove all the extra packages you have installed. I see pfBlockerNG and bandwidthd at a minimum. One of those may be causing the reboot. Removing both and then testing to see if the reboots recur is a good first step. If you don't have reboots with both packages removed, then add them back one at the time and test for a while between each add. If you get reboots with the packages removed (that is, with a plain-vanilla install), then you likely have a hardware issue and Netgate will have to work with you on a warranty fix.

Yup, use that page or email tac@netgate.com directly to open a ticket in the new system. Steve

Yes, we just changed ticket systems today. You can also email tac@netgate.com directly to open a ticket. Steve

Yes, both those should work. The netgraph script also tags outgoing traffic for ISPs that require it but Frontier doesn't appear to. I would personally use the switch port instead if you can because that is all contained in the config. If you ever have to reinstall and restore the config that will be far easier. Steve

Yeah, nothing looks too terrible there. A bunch of errors are expected on the first boot after updating. Steve
