    Indeed, the VLAN group number there is just to define the config entry. You could define those in any order and the resulting switch config would be the same.

    Does the Avahi service actually stop? If so a possible workaround would be using the service watchdog package.

    Steve

    It doesn’t seem to stop, or if it does, it doesn’t seem to stay stopped as the icon in Status > Services shows a green check when I’ve gone in to restart it.

    @ajturner The LAN ports are a switch. You can configure them to be discrete ports.

    @stephenw10

    Thank You for that information.

    Is there a possibility to cross-ship. The unit is effectively useless. I cannot use it... resell it or anything else... and shipping and waiting for customs is a huge business impact. We bought this to take advantage of a fibre line using the SFP+ port for a service we planned on launching this weekend.

    I would appreciate it if Netgate can ship the unit overnight AIR "immediately" and I will definitely get this defective unit in the hands of courier ASAP today after I receive the label.

    @scooterwa Generally the 65 error is if the cable is unplugged, the other end isn't responding, etc. No communication.

    You might try putting a switch in between the pfSense and the Netgear just to see if that helps? I've seen posts occasionally that it does.

    @keyser said in Any real reason to pick 5100 over 6100?:

    Does that mean a SG-3100 replacement is imminent?

    Don't know. It seems likely there would be something eventually since there is a bit of a gap from a 2100 to a 6100.

    @itmotohunter said in Trying to decide which appliance to get:

    Hello,
    As the title suggests, I have narrowed my decision down to two devices to buy new. My question is, when considering inter-vlan routing should I be looking at the appliance's capable L3 forwarding speed or the firewall speed on the spec sheets?
    This appliance will be routing about 6 different vlans. Some will have firewall rules (Guest, Management). I want to make sure I don't buy the lower end appliance if it's going to bottleneck the routing.
    Thanks in advance!

    Considering the box needs to apply both actions when moving packets from one VLAN to another, neither number is really realistic. So expect it to perform well below the lower of those peak numbers.

    What is it that you believe is necessary from FreeBSD 13 on that platform?

    FreeBSD 12.x is still supported and being developed upstream. There are some things on 13.x we're looking forward to having but it's still something we're working toward making happen for pfSense Plus and CE software soon. Not the next version, but soon.

    You can insert a usb stick, mount it, and copy the files off. A fat formatted stick works well.

    @rdatla said in ERROR: Impossible to mount filesystem, use interactive shell to attempt to recover it.:

    @bmeeks Thanks for the reply.

    I tried fsck -fy /, but not worked.

    Coming to recovery, can we do the installation with the community edition first and then using the earlier backup files like config.xml, shall we change the configuration?

    Thanks,
    Ram.

    No. The SG-3100 uses a 32-bit ARM processor (not Intel). There is no pfSense CE (Community Edition) available for ARM hardware. You will need to contact Netgate and request an image for your appliance. You just need to supply them the serial number or Netgate ID when opening the request. The instructions are in the link I provided earlier. There is no fee required and you don't need paid support to get an install image for your appliance.

    How are you testing? What speeds do you actually see when connected directly?

    @stephenw10 said in SG-4860 Red Status Light:

    You can create an account and open a ticket for a hardware issue:
    https://go.netgate.com/

    @blaznet Hopefully you have done as Steve recommended. When my SG-4860 died with seemingly the same failure mode, I sorta went into panic. It was a lot of money and out of warranty. I sent it overnight per their direction. When they got it, they analyzed it and sent me another. Total down time was about 5 days. I think I just paid the shipping. Netgate has been really good about standing behind their hardware, especially on known issues. You may have a different outcome but I was very pleased with how they handled my SG-4860's death... and resurrection.

    The replacement has been running a couple of years now. Being a retired EE (amongst other things) my research on some of the suspected components looks like they don't like prolonged heat soak. My SG-4860 is in an area that is always about the same temperature but does get a bit warmer in summer months. As a precaution now, I just drop a small muffin fan with soft feet over the top vent for about 10 weeks every summer. I try to keep the CPU cores under 110° F year round. The rest of the components seem to follow suit.

    But, I learned my lesson and I just bought a spare SG-4860.

    Thank you.

    After spending some quality time in the console I finally got it working. The web configure crashed when I tried to change the VLANs.

    But, it's working now. Thank you.

    @mer said in SG-1100 Unable to check for updates (Certificate verification failed):

    physically pull power

    For @harrdou , there's a doc page on this. I believe I read that was fixed in 21.02 or maybe .05 but the point is if you pull power once, then update, it shouldn't happen again.

    Ah, the pfBlocker widget. If you have very large number of DNS-BL entries you may have to change that, yes.

    Just to confirm that is exactly right. WAN and OPT are discrete NICs, mvneta2 and mvneta0.
    LAN (mvneta1) is connected to the switch internally.
