Ok, but importantly it was on lagg0.4091? The LAN is assigned as lagg0.4091?

If you captured them on lagg0 for example they may have been incorrectly tagged.

If you are seeing the DHCP requests on LAN however the DHCP server should respond unless the requests are somehow invalid. I would expect to see errors in the dhcp log though if that were the case.

Do you see a state opened on the LAN for those requests? Perhaps they are being blocked by the firewall somehow?

Steve

If whatever you ran is still running you can kill the process manually at the command line.
More likely though it just had a very large output that caused PHP to fall over and has now finished.

Steve

Mmm, yeah I would expect it to have logged battery low if it did reach that.

Maybe it restarted for some other reason?

I think you will need to do a test and see what it actually logs and what the UPS stats are reported as when it's discharging. I would probably run the 3100 directly and not through the UPS during that test so it doesn't actually lose power if/when the batteries are drained.

Steve

@b_hayward I just updated a 3100 (also arm) from 2.4.4p3 to 21.05.2, yeah the built in update was being a bit flaky..

Got the image from netgate, did a clean install and restored my config from backup.. bing bang zoom, bob's your uncle!

Yes but there are some caveats,

Because the 3100 shares the same NIC(s) as the 1100 the VLAN interfaces defined on the 1100 would simply be created on the 3100 and that's not how you want it configured there.

We can help you convert that config to allow it to import directly if you open a ticket:
https://go.netgate.com/

Steve

The system was marked clean, but booting from it isn't possible.

@metalgravy said in SG1100 repeatedly auto-reboots:

Is there anything in particular that I should be looking for?

It's video time.

And put a post it on the box ;: don"'t remove the power from this box - you the GUI shut down command" ;)
Add an UPS.

@stephenw10 said in flashing blue lights after update failed:

Yes, if you just got the device and don't know it's history or have a complex config on it already then I would just reflash it with 21.05.2 clean. Open a ticket with us to get the recovery image:
https://go.netgate.com/

Steve

i just opened the ticket. thanks for the help. cheers

Just as an update for whoever might run into this, we haven't experienced it since the "available version" zabbix items have been disabled and rebooting the gateways afterwards. That has been over 2 months ago.

You can check more info in my previous comment.

There is still the open question on why do the processes get stuck during this check, but since this isn't that important, I'm going to leave it like this.

@stephenw10 OK, I'll give it a try tonight when I'm done with my work, in case I manage to screw the whole thing up... :) I'll post the results (I have an old Linksys router as a backup...)

Thank you again for the help.

Nice news, the SG-3100 is a very good home device.

And yes, the 22.01 Dev runs very solid and nice on it. Looks like a very nice Release Version is incoming...

@1amt0ny can confirm the WD SN520 NVMe SSD - 256 GB works perfectly fine in my box. Set it up with ZFS as explained in https://forum.netgate.com/topic/168038/proper-steps-for-zfs-pave-re-install-on-6100

@jonathanlee

I see subnetting like creating cubicles. As long as you have them your good, however yes if I just had LAN everything that is bad. Thanks for pointing that out. No Any Any rules.

Ah, OK. That's on the 5100 so not some issue specific to the 6100 eMMC.

Certainly it's possible it may fail at some point, as any component might. There is no known problem with the 5100 eMMC either though.
The write life of the eMMC, which is what usually concerns people, should be easily sufficient for the expected life if the device in normal use. That will be reduced if the device ends up swapping continually or you have installed packages that create a lot a logs. It can also be extended by installing without SWAP and enabling RAM disks but that is not necessary with eMMC. I only do that on the few test devices I have still running from CF or if I ever run anything from USB directly. Both of which have far far more limited write life.

However, as you say, if for some reason the eMMC does fail it's possible to install an NVMe drive.

Steve

Does it appear in Advanced > SDIO Config ?

I wonder if it's trying to detect and setup the connection there still.

I don't expect it to appear in that SATA config section, it doesn't on the one I have here either. It's not a SATA device. Though I note you don't appear to have the enable/disable option there at all.

Steve

Toggling the repo should work. It may not have refreshed the pkg if you did it too quickly.

Any device that is running a development snapshot and pulled the bad repo details at that time will need to be corrected manually.

@teratronic

With headless devices (no screen keyboard), I advise you to look and do what is proposed here : How to Run a pfSense Software File System Check

This one Upgrading pfSense Software contains also useful information.

Both are Netgate video's. These guys know what they talk about : they created the devices.

What we all do wrong, just to gain several minutes, and loosing hours afterwards as a result :
Before thinking of upgrading :
Check free disk space. Do so using console or SSH access.
Check if, during the boot cycle, there are no mount errors (see first video).
Check that you have a local (USB) copy of the current config.xml.
Check that you have a copy of the current version of pfSense ready on a USB.

Because you have multiple devices, you can easily test faulty PSU's. Bit be careful : bas PSU's can do harm to the disk : not physical, but on a written 'bit' level. On the next boot, your device refuses to boot ...

For any pfSense, a good PSU is import. As important as a good UPS.
An UPS is not mandatory, an UPS is only important if your internet connection is important to you.

Yes, connect to the console and see where it's rebooting:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/netgate-2100/connect-to-console.html

You can probably escape the boot loop.

Styeve

You can tell if it's even POSTing correctly by the fan speed. The fans come on a full speed and remain there if Coreboot is not running to set the controller. If will do that if, for example, the RAM size is changed and it needs to retrain. During that time the fans are loud and there is nothing on the console, it can take ~5min.
Have you ever connected to the serial console in the past on that XG-7100?

You can return it for diagnostics at cost. You should open a ticket with us here:
https://go.netgate.com/

Steve

Ok, thanks for the clarification @stephenw10

@hax2021 said in SG-1000 issues pfSense 2.4.0-BETA:

Card did not respond to voltage select!

You saw https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-1000/faq.html ?

If possible, check the SSD.
