@KOOL43 Well thats hard to say. I have a 2100 with a running GPON 1.25/2.5 BiDi SFP trancievers from fs.com. Before that I tested it with a Nokia tranciever with similar specs, and that also worked without issues (but was a loaner). So I would expect it to work, but it’s impossible to guarantee it up front.
Thank you for your reply. We are using a brand-new UPS with all-new batteries. Unfortunately, both of our current units are not pure sine wave models. I’m a bit of a newbie when it comes to UPS systems, so I really appreciate your advice. I’ll make sure to purchase the required type.
Thank you again!
A pure sine wave model is likely to cost more than one doing "stepped aproximation". That's one way to know it's likely a pure sine wave box (along with the manufacturer explicitly stating that in their specifications).
The maximum throughput without any packages or VPNs on the 2100 is 600-700Mbps. No problem for 400Mbps. But if you want to pass 400Mbps over wireguard you are going to be CPU limited. If you want to do that with Snort or Suricata running, even more so. Memory shouldn't be an issue unless you load up ever list and definition in pfBlocker and Snort (which you shouldn't!).
You could try adding a boot delay to the 1100 so the NUC has finished booting before it starts.
Though if it sends an escape sequence that can interrupt the boot that could cause a problem at any time. The # implies the root prompt which is an odd place to end up.
The 1100 logs everything once the kernel starts but it doesn't log input at the console.
I already have a managed switch, but took it down recently. I currently have everything sitting atop my dryer. I am trying to reduce clutter. However, construction is coming soon 🤞and I will soon have a dedicated area for my Proxmox servers and this network equipment. I currently have an 1100 setup, a single OpenWRT router, and a POE switch up on the dryer now. The one renter just wants WiFi, no cables, so I can accommodate that with the OpenWRT router and vLANs. It's a far cry better than 2 OpenWRT routers, a managed switch, a PoE switch, and a Netgate 1100. My 1 bother is in an ADU just outside the house, so he has a separate OpenWRT router in bridge mode, connected to the LAN interface via a 100' Ethernet cable.
Probably more than anyone wanted to know, but Ok. Gotta go now.
I know this thread is old, but it helped me with my WAN uplink speed negotiation issue I experienced after updating my 2100 to 24.11.
Sometimes the obvious is the easy solution. After the 24.11 update, my WAN was set to 100BaseT. I spent at least an hour trying to figure this out, rebooting everything under the sun. Then I came across this thread, swapped out my cable, and BOOM! back to 1000BaseT.
@stephenw10 Yes, we did get it directly from Netgate. It came with the fan, but no directions, so I was trying to fit the fan onto the card itself. I opened a TAC ticket earlier and got the PDF, so that definitely helps. I would recommend adding those instructions to the official manual, it would have made my life a lot easier. 😄
iClamper is a company with a great reputation in Brazil.
We don't have a great infrastructure, so everyone uses it around here.
I have customers with farms, and if I don't use those there, especially there, every now and then lightning burns equipment.
It has a varistor component built in, it is like a little sponge or pillow that can protect you even if you don't have proper power grounding.
If you don't find it in your location, search for good companies with good reputation.
Out of my head, I probably bought more than a hundred of these in the past 5 years or so..
This is a guy testing it, video is in Portuguese, but you can generate subtitles or perhaps just watch it without audio to see how it works. Youtube Video
