@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.

@stephenw10 Thank you very much!

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.

@steveits 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. Steve

Thanks to you both for the input. Greatly appreciated.

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

@stephenw10 thx for the info.

@stephenw10 forgot to report back but yes my problem has been solved. Many thanks.

I would also connect each switch to the 6100 separately if they are physically located to allow that. The only time you might not want that is if you regularly have multiple Gbps traffic between hosts on different switches where the 6100 would have to push that. Those switches look to have 10G ports and the 6100 has two 10G ports. If you're not using them already I'd use those. Steve

Yup, open a ticket with us for that. Steve

@citaku I don’t even know why the information is not in the documentation. We buy expensive hardware, supporting netgate and pfSense at the same time, and we cannot get the simple reference of the SSD being used.

Thanks steve. I got an img from support reimaged device and is working fine. Again Thank you
