@stephenw10 very strange - had it set to 115200, still gibberish, come back a day later, and it's fine.

thanks for the help!

Yup, that^.

You can import a CE config into any of our appliances. If it has an internal switch it's easier to add that config section first, we can help you with that.

Steve

Not other than the modules we have in our store. Most Intel compatible modules will work. Copper RJ-45 modules are incompatible. DAC cables usually work fine at 10G but have no way to force 1G which can be an issue.

@stephenw10

As mentioned, I'm not doing rocket-surgery with the 1100, but bandwidth is the primary reason for the upgrade questions. Looks like a 3100 will do what I'd want/need.

@stephenw10 Forgot to say thank you. I knew I had read that this had been changed but never messed with it because for over a year the tiered thing seemed to work but this makes sense. thanks for taking the time to respond.

Yes

All of those CARP IPs are on LAN directly. They should be on their own interfaces.

Steve

They may be sending a prefix only in which case the WAN would not get an IPv6 address directly and would using link-local for routing the prefix. My ISP does that.
If you have LAN or OPT set to track WAN with prefix ID set they should get a v6 IP.

Enable Debug in the dhcpv6 settings on WAN and you will get a lot more logged info when it connects.

Steve

@gertjan Thank you!
just upgraded it with no issue :)

Yes, you can't change the power state on ARM like you can on x86 so there is no real shutdown, just CPU halt.

The 2100 and 3100 have a separate LED controller that will continue to pulse the black diamond LED.

Steve

I did quite a lot of testing on this recently and there is no significant difference between LAN and OPT for throughput to/from WAN.
However I use OPT as my main connection here just because I also have it connected to an external switch and it makes changing VLANs on that link a lot easier.

You may have no VLANs now but if you have a 1G connection and a number of devices using it you'll probably want to start segregating them at some point.

Steve

It probably would work with a 1G NIC in the 7100 but that's not something I've ever tried and I can't test it. 1G NICs are not expensive though it you have the expansion card fitting kit.
But more expensive that just using the media converter you have and know works. 😉

Steve

Thanks. I figured it out. I wasn't expecting the discrete NIC's. I am all set now.

Oh, they have one for the 5100 as well. It's 1.37U tall which is just a little odd, but otherwise seems slick.

Netgate responded super fast. Provided ver.21.05.1 firmware and clean instructions to reinstall it on the 3100. Whole process was took 15min. I'm back in business 😊 👍
